Surgeons successfully rejoin Ugandan's cut off penis

afrol News, 29 August - A man has had his severely cut off penis successfully rejoined by surgical experts in the central Uganda Hospital, 50 km south-west of the capital Kampala.

Godfrey Ssemanda's estranged wife Maama Gift Hellen had recently cut off his penis out of jealousy. She had accused him of marrying a second wife.

Ssemanda had reportedly regained his manhood thanks to surgeons at Masaka referral Hospital. Surgeons applied the suturing operation method to join his penis, and confirmed that he will sexually function again.

The traumatised man who is expected to be discharged from hospital next Tuesday said he does not want to set eyes on his 20-year-old wife who has since been on the run. She had cut off her husband's penis two days after setting fire to his vehicle.
