Penile Dorsal Neurectomy Procedure
The surgery involves making small incisions on the dorsal (top) side of the penis to access the dorsal nerve. The nerve is either partially or fully severed or disrupted, reducing the excessive sensory input that can lead to premature ejaculation.
Timing: The procedure usually takes between 30 to 60 minutes, performed on an outpatient basis, meaning you can typically go home on the same day.
Anesthesia: Penile dorsal neurectomy is generally performed under local anesthesia, ensuring that the procedure site is numb, and you are comfortable. In some cases, general anesthesia may be used for a more relaxed experience. The anesthesiologist will determine the best approach based on your individual health and preferences.
Recovery and Follow-up: Most patients experience mild discomfort after the procedure, which can be managed with pain relievers. You'll be advised to avoid strenuous activity for a few weeks to allow for healing. Follow-up appointments will ensure that you're recovering well and to monitor the effectiveness of the procedure.
Benefits of Dorsal Neurectomy
Dorsal neurectomy offers a personalized surgical approach for carefully selected patients experiencing penile hypersensitivity and premature ejaculation, with a focus on improving control, confidence, and overall quality of life.
Improved Ejaculatory Control
Men who undergo penile dorsal neurectomy often experience a significant delay in ejaculation, allowing for longer-lasting sexual activity and improved satisfaction for both partners.
Fast Recovery
The procedure is typically quick, taking about 30 to 60 minutes, and is performed with either local or general anesthesia. Most men can return to normal activities in a few days to weeks, with minimal downtime.
Enhanced Sexual Confidence
The procedure helps reduce anxiety around sexual performance and the fear of premature ejaculation, leading to greater confidence and enhanced sexual enjoyment.
Long-Term Results
Once the dorsal nerve is altered, the effects are typically long-lasting, providing permanent improvement in ejaculatory control, with minimal need for further interventions
