Well unless the guy started out with average girth and a three-inch penis I guess it totally blows the girth-to-length, gain-ratio figures out of the water.
Also, when she said “The strip of tunica was excised using electrocautery” and the surgeon started cutting the subcutaneous fascia, I thought we’d totally got it all wrong. ;)
Anyone interested in seeing the “free autologous tunica albuginea graft” i.e. the piece of tunica they’d previously removed from the patient (no, don’t worry, it’s not harvested cadaver tissue ;) ), the shot starts at 7 minutes and 34 seconds and ends at a fraction of a second over 8 minutes 23 seconds (it cuts right back to the operation at about 8:23.75). I wonder what the surgeon’s removing from it— it looks like it might be fat.
Since watching a bunch of surgery in documentaries on cable, this kind of thing doesn’t really bother me (I saw a Discovery Channel documentary featuring a guy who’d had several traumatic amputations as a result of a motorcycle crash. If I remember correctly it was about half way through anaesthesia and intubation that one of the medical team casually tossed his foot on to the gurney, which I must admit did make me feel a little queasy).
I had a friend who worked in a wildlife hospital and used to help with the operations. I told her I didn’t mind looking at medical procedures but she said it’s the smell that’s the worst part. It makes me wonder what the smell of the smoke from the electrocautery of the tunica must have been like.
My last girlfriend worked for Panasonic and had to man the Panasonic stage at a medical industry expo. For three days she was totally surrounded by huge wide-screen high-definition televisions showing noting but surgery. By the end of the expo she was totally desensitised to the images.

The length stayed the same. The three centimeter reduction was in circumference (the reason for the lateral incisions was (I think) to peel the skin back.)

They had to remove the ‘cavernous material’ to make space for the ‘three-piece inflatable penile prosthesis”. Plus, reduction would have been necessary since an 8 and 1/4” girth is just too much (or at least it is in clinical/medical terms).
Also, the narrator didn’t give a reason for the failure of the sutures— all she said was “Unfortunately long-term follow-up was associated with failure of the suture line, infection, and penile prosthesis removal”. I’d imagine that for the sutures to fail the skin must have been stretched to an unanticipated extent, which could very well have been through a second priapism.

He must have left it for a pretty long time for that kind of result to have occurred— from what I’ve read here, I’m sure that that kind of thing definitely doesn’t happen over night.

Is it just me or does anyone else fancy sausages after watching that?
