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, but without the appropriate rigorous ethical/scientific scrutiny.[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). It has since spread to many areas of the world.[2]
Cepeda-Emiliani reports that psychotic episodes have been reported after PN.[2]
Every male child circumcision and adult circumcision inherently includes the neurotomy and the complete excision of the ridged band region of the foreskin.
