Malcom MacDonald, 47, mutilated his limb in 2014 after a blood clot that caused it to decompose – although his testicles remained intact. Believing that he would be left with a stump of life, the engineer turned to alcohol and became desolate. But in 2015, doctors revealed that a new penis could be transplanted from the skin on his arm into a H 50,000 NHS-funded project. However, the lack of oxygen in his blood during the surgery meant that the doctors had to have a miscarriage in the middle and stick the six-inch penis to his left arm “temporarily”. Hospital delays and the Covid pandemic meant the appendix remained there for six years – making his life miserable. He could not wear a short-sleeved top in public and could not swim with his two children for fear of being embarrassed. But Mr. MacDonald finally has his manhood in the right place after a nine-hour operation last year. A divorced father of two from Thetford, Norfolk, said: “The first thing I did was look down and say, ‘Oh, my days. They did it right this time.’ “I feel like a real man again.” Malcom MacDonald’s penis fell 12 years ago due to an infection in the blood that made his limb black. Although he was initially told he would be left with a stump, doctors were able to make a new six-inch limb using skin from his hand in a .000 50,000 procedure (detailed in graphic) Malcom MacDonald, 47, mutilated his limb in 2014 after a blood contamination caused it to decompose Mr. MacDonald spoke about his ordeal in a Channel 4 documentary “The Man with a Penis on His Hand”, which will air at 10:05 pm on Tuesday, May 5th. His ordeal began in 2014, when a long-term infection of the perineum – between the scrotum and anus – developed into sepsis, blackening his fingers, toes and penis. When someone has sepsis, a serious blood infection, the blood begins to clot and prevents vital nutrients and oxygen from reaching the most distant parts of the body. Mr MacDonald said he threw his penis in the bin, with doctors initially telling him they could only wrap the rest of the log “like a sausage roll”. For the next two years he says he became desolate, turned to alcohol and felt “like a human shadow,” he revealed at the time. The consequence: After a successful nine-hour operation in 2021, the engineer finally removes his penis from his left hand Before the op: He had to live with the member in hand for six years
How the engineer became the first man in the world with a penis in his hand
2014: A long-term infection in Malcom MacDonald’s perineum – between the scrotum and anus – develops into sepsis. This caused his penis to turn black and fall off. 2015: Doctors reveal that a new penis could be vaccinated from the skin on his hand in a H 50,000 NHS-funded project. Doctors took skin and muscle from his left arm and a vein in his right leg. The skin was wrapped around the vein and formed in the shape of a penis. But during an operation to stick it between his legs, he had to stick it in his arm due to a lack of oxygen in his blood, known as hypoxemia, which is believed to occur in about one in 15 surgeries and can be fatal. He had to attach to the blood vessels in his hands to keep the penile tissue healthy. The delays meant that his penis remained hanging from his hand for six years. 2019: A shortage of NHS staff in December 2019 meant the process could not proceed when it was scheduled. 2020: The operation was scheduled to take place in April 2020 but the pandemic struck, causing further delays. 2021: Mr MacDonald’s penis is finally removed from his arm and transported to his groin during a nine-hour operation. It is equipped with a penile implant, which consists of a saline tank, a cylinder that extends along the penis and a pump and release valve located inside the scrotum. The implant allows the user to pump saline fluid retained inside the tank into the cylinder. Once fully pumped, the penis will be hard enough for sex. But his doctor in Thetford, Norfolk, took him to Professor David Ralph, a phallus specialist at University College Hospital in London. Professor Ralph revealed that he could make a new penile implant – and he had to choose the size. Mr. MacDonald asked for it to be six inches (15 cm), which was two inches (5 cm) larger than it had before. Doctors took a skin flap from his left hand and rolled it to form a makeshift penis. The hand was chosen because it has skin quality and feel, doctors said. They also created a urethra inside the skin. But instead of being stuck between his legs, he initially got stuck in his arm due to a lack of oxygen in his blood at the time of surgery, known as hypoxemia, which is believed to occur in about one in 15 surgeries and can be fatal. He had to attach to the blood vessels in his left arm to keep his penile tissue healthy. While in his arms, Mr. McDonald could not urinate or have sex with the appendix. The process of moving the penis to his groin was severely delayed because he missed a number of appointments due to confusion with transportation and scheduling, staff shortages and the pandemic. However, doctors said waiting for the procedure would not affect its ability to eventually be implemented. Six years later, his penis was removed from his arm and transported to the groin during a nine-hour operation. The shaft was detached from its fork, allowing it to hang freely and form naturally as skin and tissue. Penile resection surgery is complicated and usually involves plastic surgeons and urologists working together. The blood vessels and nerves between the arm and the penis were separated and the limb was removed. These nerves and blood vessels, which can be thinner than a hair, must be sutured to the penis area to restore blood supply to the improvised penis. Mr MacDonald will also be able to have sex as doctors install two tubes, which allow him to inflate his penis with a hand pump to give him a “mechanical” erection. He will also be able to urinate. He was left with the lump in his hand for six years due to transport problems that prevented him from going to the hospital, planning confusions, staff shortages and the Covid pandemic. Mr MacDonald said he could not wear a short-sleeved T-shirt and could not go swimming with his children. Mr MacDonald said in the Channel 4 documentary: “This could be a turning point in my life. “My luck in life has not been very good so far, but it can go bad for so long, right? “Can you imagine six years of your life with a penis swaying in your hand? It was a nightmare, but it’s gone now – the little lover. ” He also told the documentary that when he came to find a product for an elderly lady in a supermarket, his penis was loosened and he moved near her head. Mr MacDonald said in the documentary: “It’s something we have to tell our grandchildren, right?” The avid dart player also talked about learning to put his darts under the penis.
