Complete penile amputation is perhaps the most tragic of all of the many complications of non-therapeutic infant circumcision.[1] It refers to the total, complete ablation[2] or destruction of the penis by a surgical mishap. Penile ablation is said to be an extremely rare condition in advanced nations where circumcision is performed by trained medical doctors, but it is more common in developing nations where traditional circumcision is the usual practice.[3]
The former practice was to do "feminizing genitoplasty" or in other words, a sex-change operation on an infant boy,[4] however this was found to be unsatisfactory.[5]
Bradley et al. (1998) presented two cases of ablatio penis and discuss various ways of managing the condition. The first case presented is the same one later publicized by John Colapinto.[6]
More recently, penile re-implantation using leech therapy has been described.[7]
Contents
Penis amputators
- Jean-Marie Huot of Winnipeg, Canada, who amputated the penis of David Reimer.
- Hershel Goldman of Melbourne, Australia, who amputated the penis of two boys while performing Brit Milah.
Xhosa circumcision
The Eastern Cape Province of South Africa is the home of the Xhosa people. The culture of the Xhosa includes many traditional practices, including a rite of passage to manhood called Ulwaluko. Ulwaluko includes a circumcision by a traditional practitioner. The circumcisions are not performed in accordance with modern medical practice. They are notorious for loss of penile skin, infection, gangrene, total loss of the penis, and even death.[8] [9] Ulwaluko is viewed as an important part of Xhosa culture, so there is little interest on the part of governmental authorities on regulating the practice.[10]
Life without a penis
Mia Malan (2013) discussed the difficulties of life without a penis.[11]
Penile transplant
The first succesful penile transplant[12] was the result of a loss of a boy's penis during the ulwaluko initation.[13]
