A 32-year-old man has undergone a life-changing, marathon surgery at Maharaja Krishna Chandra Gajapati Medical College and Hospital to reconstruct his penis and urethra, which were lost approximately two months prior. The complex procedure, spanning 9-10 hours, was successfully completed by the plastic and reconstructive surgery department in three stages over several weeks.
Led by Dr. Pruthwiraj Singh, the medical team utilized a free radial forearm flap with microsurgical techniques. Tissue from the patient's left forearm was used to create a neophallus and neourethra, aiming to restore both urinary function and anatomical form. This groundbreaking surgery marks a significant achievement for the hospital's reconstructive surgery capabilities.
The patient was discovered unconscious on a train with severe injuries, prompting immediate medical attention. His successful reconstruction offers hope and a new beginning after a traumatic event, with doctors optimistic about his recovery while he remains under close observation in the ICU.
