Changes

Under general anesthesia, doctors re-covered the shaft with the [[skin ]] remaining in the specimen and re-anastomosed the glans penis using a micro-surgical technique. However, the operation was not a complete success. Over the next two weeks, part of the glans became necrotic and black and was removed, including most of the [[skin ]] of the shaft. As a result, L.G. no longer has a glans penis. When L.G. is older, it may be necessary to release the penile shaft [[skin ]] and perform a [[skin ]] graft in order for L.G. to have the best penile function possible under the circumstances. Although doctors project that L.G. will be able to have sexual intercourse and reproduce, the sexual experience will not be the same as if he had a glans penis.<ref>{{REFweb
