Medical Video: Circumcised vs. Uncircumcised - Which Is Better?
Imagining what will happen when a penis is cut off may have made you shudder in horror. However, this really happened to a man in the United States. Luckily, this man managed to reconnect his reproductive organs after undergoing surgery. So, can a cut penis be medically connected or repaired again? Come on, see the explanation below.
What happens when the penis is cut off?
If the body's organs function optimally, the body will also be healthy. Likewise with the penis, there are some things that cause this organ to not function properly. For example gonorrhea, syphilis or what has happened in some cases, namely the penis is cut off. If the organ is cut off which clearly causes injury, it interferes with the penis's working system. In fact, if there is severe bleeding it can be fatal.
If it's cut off, can it be reconnected?
Reported from Live Science, this case occurred in Southern California, a man suffered a wound in the penis. The doctor then reassembled the man's important organ. Fortunately, these organs can be reassembled. However, its function may not be the same as normal penis function. "It's that bad, but it's the best choice," said Dr. Andrew Kramer, urologist and surgeon at the University of Maryland Medical Center who handles the operation.
How do you put back a penis that is cut or damaged?
The important organ of this truncated man, as long as it has not been left in an open space for approximately one day or 24 hours, can still be installed again. By way of cooling it on ice. If it's more than 24 hours, then re-installation using the penis is too late. Expected there must be a new penis.
A new penis can be made by taking a graft from the muscle, which is usually taken on the forearm or thigh. The results are then affixed to the pelvic area. These muscles need to be connected so that they get enough blood supply. Then, the muscle needs to be covered with skin taken from the forearm.
What happens after the penis is replaced?
Installation of a new penis usually will not look like the original, because the organ is a prosthetic result. However, functionally these organs can still function sexually (can achieve erection). A prosthetic device known as a penis implant can be placed inside the organ to help this. Patients will experience orgasm because the nerves involved in orgasm are still intact. But the penis will not be able to ejaculate, which is removing sperm.
For this reason, it is likely that patients will not be able to have offspring if through sex. But this can still be overcome by doing IVF, which is fertilization outside a woman's body.
