Man's Penis 'Shortened By About An Inch' By Surgery So He Sues Hospital, As You Would

Man's Sues After Penis 'Shortened By About An Inch' During Surgery

A Canadian man is suing a hospital for negligence after surgery apparently shortened his penis preventing him from having sex.

The unnamed individual, who is a paraplegic, fractured his member during sex with his wife in 2011.

When he visited hospital with the rather unfortunate injury he claims a nurse failed to examine his penis and dismissed it as minor trauma.

Weeks later the fracture was finally diagnosed and he underwent surgery to correct it.

The lawsuit claims the procedure left him with permanent scarring, the inability to have sex a reduced his penis by "about an inch".

He claims his wife left him after he could no longer make love for around two years.

The man told Canada's QMI Agency: "This has caused a greater impact on my life than when I lost the use of my legs."

Botched surgeries are far from rare. Earlier this year, an English man who went under the knife for a minor urological procedure ended up getting a vasectomy by accident.

In December 2013, the Telegraph reported that more than 150 patients in Britain's National Health Service had suffered from botched procedures over a six-month period, according to official statistics.

In 37 of those cases, patients underwent surgery on the wrong part of the body, including a woman who had her fallopian tube removed instead of her appendix.
