Russian doctors from a Moscow hospital have recently performed such an operation on one of their patients.

They cut his undersized penis off in order to grow the organ and attach it again to its natural place. They grew the phallus on the man's arm.

It happened tp 30-year-old man who was suffering from a serious pathology - the genital hypoplasia, which means his reproductive organ was unusually small.

The normal process involved severing the micro-penis and making a new one from the forearm tissue.

But a Moscow doctor, who specialised in male problems decided to use a different method.

He decided not to remove the natural tissue of the small penis, but to attach a so-called neo-phallus to the top of the defective organ.

He was a resident of Russia's Khabarovsk region, in the Far East, identified only as Sergei, who was born with a very small penis. As a child, he had no scrotum.

When he was a boy, his parents found it hard to tell if he was a boy or a girl. To crown it all, he started developing women's breasts.

Sergei became a very shy and secluded individual. He could not have a relationship with girls: his penis was only five centimeters long.

When doctors were removing the defective organ, they were trying to preserve as much penis tissue as possible.

They then took a piece of skin, muscle and blood vessels from the man's left forearm. The forearm tissue was used to make a new penis for the man.

Before the new penis took its more or less natural form, doctors prepared an appropriate "filling" for it so that the man could lead a normal sexual life.

Surgeons made the urethra and fixed the new phallus with the help of two tube-like silicone implants, which would be perform the erectile function.

After that they attached the man's micro-penis to the top of the new reproductive organ, which was growing on the man's arm.

They also connected the new urethra with the old one and successfully completed all other procedures having attached skin and blood vessels.

After the microsurgical stage ended, the surgeon reattached the whole construction back to its normal place.

The swollen blue and red piece of meat hardly bears any resemblance to a male genitalia. However, the bruises and edema will fade away in a week or two, the surgeon said.

It took the doctors 11 hours to complete the operation.

"As far as I know it is the first operation of the kind. I am very happy it has taken place in Russia. However, I think that such an idea must have occurred to a lot of specialists from other countries too," he said.

"A normal sexual intercourse was the prime goal of the whole operation. I believe that my patient may develop sexual sensitivity of his new penis in several months, which will improve his private life.

”Such an effect would be absolutely impossible, if we had created the new organ from the forearm tissue alone. The man would only sense a touch in this case.

“When the new organ recovers, Sergei will become the proud owner of the 17-cm penis. Women will never be able to suspect anything. The patient will have no urination problems either.

“When Sergei was a baby, doctors should have conducted a course of hormone-replacing therapy for him. He still has no scrotum - that is why he will have to have another operation in the near future.”

Sergei is overwhelmed with his new acquisition – and eager to start a new life.
