About Suspensory Ligament Hitch Surgery

Suspensory ligament hitch surgery is a specialized urological procedure performed by an andrologist to correct penile curvature, often caused by Peyronie's disease or congenital conditions. The surgery involves making an incision at the base of the penis to access and shorten the suspensory ligament, which attaches the penis to the pubic bone. By adjusting this ligament's tension, the surgeon can effectively straighten the penis and improve its angle during erection. This outpatient procedure is considered a less invasive alternative to more complex grafting techniques, aiming to restore functional anatomy, alleviate pain during intercourse, and enhance sexual confidence. It is typically recommended when non-surgical treatments have failed to provide adequate correction.

PATIENT REVIEW

Arjun Singh, a 28-year-old amateur marathon...

Arjun Singh, a 28-year-old amateur marathon runner and software engineer, began experiencing a sharp, pulling sensation in his groin and a noticeable asymmetry in his scrotum during long runs. One testicle would retract high and tight against his body, causing discomfort that forced him to cut training sessions short. He initially dismissed it as a muscle strain, but when it started affecting his intimacy with his partner, he sought help. His primary care doctor found no hernia and referred him to an andrologist. After examination and ultrasound, the andrologist diagnosed a hyperactive cremasteric reflex and laxity of the suspensory ligament, causing intermittent testicular torsion and retraction. He recommended a Suspensory Ligament Hitch to permanently anchor the affected testicle and prevent the painful retraction. Arjun was apprehensive about surgery near his genitals but desperate to return to pain-free running. The procedure was quick, and recovery required two weeks of rest from running. After healing, the retraction and pain were completely resolved. He successfully returned to marathon training. Emotionally, he transitioned from feeling anxious and limited by his own body to feeling empowered and confident, both in his athletic pursuits and his personal life.
