Neurotomy is the surgical cutting of a nerve, usually in the hope of relieving pain. This is seldom justified nowadays, is not always effective and will usually have serious side effects[1]
Professor Alfonso Cepeda-Emiliani, in a presentation in Brisbane, Australia, has called attention to the unethical nature of the practice of penile neurotomy (PN). He reports it was first introduced by Brazilian urologists in the 1980s as a treatment for premature ejaculation (PE), but without the appropriate rigorous ethical/scientific scrutiny.. It has since spread to many areas of the world.[2]
Cepeda-Emiliani reports that psychotic episodes have been reported after PN.[2]
Neurotomy and circumcision
Every child circumcision and adult circumcision inherently includes neurotomy and the complete excision of the ridged band region of the foreskin. Adverse effects after circumcision, as reported by Cepeda-Emiliani, are normal and include loss of erogenous sensation of the foreskin and mental effects up to and including suicide. Some circumcised men need therapy due to their trauma and physical and functional loss.[3]
