Prepare for the penis lengthening procedure

- OAK + clotting time, OAM;

Ligamentotomy involves a preliminary examination by an andrologist and an anesthesiologist. On the day of the operation, it is forbidden to eat or drink water.
Ligamentotomy process
Ligamentotomy is a technically simple method. During the ligamentotomy, general anesthesia and a type of local anesthesia - epidural anesthesia - are used. Thanks to the latest techniques, the duration of the ligamentotomy does not exceed 20 minutes, and the stages of a surgical operation to increase the length of the penis are sequential and proceed as follows:
- the surgeon makes a small incision in the scrotum;
- exposes the connective tissue fibers of the supporting ligament located in the pubic region and dissects them with a scalpel;
- remove the hidden part of the penis, fix it and suture the wound.
The ligamentotomy itself does not lead to an increase in the penis, it only creates the conditions for it. The result can be achieved by wearing a special device after ligamentotomy.
Complications after ligamentotomy
Ligamentotomy in rare cases leads to complications. The consequences of surgical penile lengthening are as follows:
- postoperative bleeding;
- infection;
- erectile disorders;
- unstable position of the organ during intimacy;
- deformation or curvature of the penis.
This can occur due to technical difficulties during the ligamentotomy or insufficient skills of the operator.
Rehabilitation period after penis enlargement operation
After the ligamentotomy operation, the rehabilitation period begins, requiring monitoring of the patient's condition and special care. They exercise control over the functions of the respiratory and heart organs after anesthesia, treat the stitches and monitor their healing.
During the stay in the hospital, the doctor prescribes bed rest for the patient so that the recovery after the lengthening of the penis surgically passes without consequences and after discharge gives the following recommendations:
- be examined periodically by a doctor;
- continue to take antibiotics and pain relievers;
- observe personal hygiene;
- exclude intercourse for three weeks;
- do not wear tight underwear;
- avoid physical activity;
- use the extension cord for about three months.
Full recovery after ligamentotomy occurs within six months. The damaged ligament prevents the inside of the penis from returning to its original position. If all recommendations are followed, the ligamentotomy will bring the desired results.
