Topic: Suspensory ligament of the penis


In the News (Wed 10 Feb 10)

  
  Suspensory ligament - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Suspensory ligament describes any ligament that supports a body part, especially an organ.
In horses, the suspensory ligament is part of the suspensory apparatus of the leg.
It supports the fetlock joint when the leg is supporting the horse's weight.

 Penis - Susan's Place Transgender Wiki
The penis (plural penises or penes) or phallus is the external male copulatory organ, and, in mammals, the external male organ of urination.
The glans of the penis is homologous to the clitoral glans, the corpora cavernosa are homologous to the body of the clitoris, the corpus spongiosum is homologous to the vestibular bulbs beneath the labia minora, and the scrotum is homologous to the labia minora, labia majora and clitoral hood.
Although the average erect penis points approximately horizontally, it is common and normal for an erect penis to have a wide range of vertical angles, from nearly vertically upward to nearly vertically downward, depending on the tension of the suspensory ligament which holds it in position when erect.

 Absolute Penis Enlargement
Penis stretching exercises are very simple to perform, and involve gripping around the head of the penis (usually while flaccid) and applying a pulling technique.
The idea is to stretch the penis to its maximum comfortable limit, to the point where you feel a strong, positive stretch at the base of the shaft and in the suspensory ligament.
A good penis enlargement routine is slightly more involved, and includes a variety of exercises that focus on stretching all areas of the suspensory ligament, as well as the secondary ligaments within the penis.

 Penile Cancer
This penis is comprised of a "shaft" of variable length (average of 5 inches) which arises from the "pubis" -- the area where the pubic bones join in front.
The "urethra" is the hollow tube at the center of the penis, it extends from the neck of the bladder to the opening at the tip of the penis ("urethral meatus").
The penis is connected to the pubic bones by the "suspensory ligament of the penis" which allows it to dangle.

 The Anatomy and Technique of Penile Block
The fact that the fascia splits on its deep surface to form a vertical suspensory ligament of the penis which, in turn, divides to encircle the shaft of the penis.
The dorsal nerves and vessels lie deep to the suspensory ligament where it divides on the corpora cavernosa and are therefore in an enclosed space where they could be depressed if a large haematoma developed.
This shows the membranous layer of superficial fascia and the suspensory ligament of the penis which divides to form another triangular space fusing with Buck's fascia through which pass the dorsal nerves, arteries and veins.

 Penis Enlargement Resoure Center - Surgery
Surgical lengthening of the penis is achieved by cutting the suspensory ligaments that support the penis.
One form of surgery is called suspensory ligament removal where the part of the penis that is inside the body is cut loose and can hang out, adding inches.
A small incision is made at the base of the penis and the suspensory ligaments that hold part of the penis inside the body are released.

 penis size:average size   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-31)
Penis size is important if and only if you think it is. If you have sex with men and you desire a large penis, then penis size is important to you, and only to you.
If you're determined to change the size or shape of your penis, there are surgical methods available that involve either injecting or inserting fat into the penis to increase girth, cutting the suspensory ligament that holds the penis at the pubic bone to increase length, or both.
The American Urological Association, for one, won't recommend it, noting that injecting or grafting fat ("augmentation phalloplasty") to increase girth or cutting the suspensory ligament of the penis to increase length have "not been shown to be safe or efficacious." Proceed cautiously.

 Carcinoma of the Urethra
Cancer of the penis is a rare disease in the United States and Europe, but is a major health problem in parts of South America, Africa, and Asia.
Incidence of squamous carcinoma of the penis, by far the most common penile cancer, ranges from 0.4% of male genital cancers in the United States, to as high as 20% to 22% in China and Uganda.
The pendulous urethra extends from the proximal fossa navicularis to the suspensory ligament of the penis, where it then becomes the bulbar urethra between the ligament and the urogenital membrane.

 Penile Augmentation - Chapter 2
In an erect state, the penis, on average, is between 5 to 7 inches in length and 1.5 inches in diameter.
The dictionary also defines "phallic identity" as "the tendency of males to seek their identity in their penis with an emphasis on the belief that ‘bigger is better'." "Phallocentrism" is an explanation of sexual development in which the penis is central and symbolically powered.
The penis is reattached to the lateral skin flaps to ensure the formation of the suspensory ligament in its new forward position.

 Pubic symphysis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The pubic symphysis (or Symphysis pubis) is the midline cartilaginous joint uniting the superior rami of the left and right pubic bones (pubis).
It is located anterior to the urinary bladder and superior to the external genitalia for females it is above the vulva and for males it is above the penis.
In males, the suspensory ligament of the penis attaches to the pubic symphysis.

On the penis, it lies between the dorsal nerve and deep dorsal vein, the former being on its lateral side.
It supplies the integument and fibrous sheath of the corpus cavernosum penis, sending branches through the sheath to anastomose with the preceding vessel.
The Muscular Branches supply the Glutæus maximus, anastomosing with the superior gluteal artery in the substance of the muscle; the external rotators, anastomosing with the internal pudendal artery; and the muscles attached to the tuberosity of the ischium, anastomosing with the posterior branch of the obturator and the medial femoral circumflex arteries.

 Penis Enlargement Surgery: Aesthetic Plastic Surgery International - Dr. Stephen X. Giunta
With this technique, the suspensory ligament attaching the penis to the pubic bone is severed through the use of a laser as opposed to a scalpel.
To increase penis girth, Dr. Giunta uses the Fat Transfer method, and states that the complications often associated with the procedure — such as high or uneven reabsorbtion of the implanted fat — are only potential risks when the technique is performed poorly or incorrectly.
He claims such problems generally arise because of the tendency of surgeons to overfill the penis with fat to such an extent that the body is unable to develop an adequate blood supply to the newly transplanted tissue.

The penis consists of two bodies of spongy tissue: the corpora cavernosum and the corpora spongiosum.
The corpora cavernosum, the larger of the two, is connected to the mid-line of the pubic bone by two ligaments: the fundlform ligament most superficially, and the suspensory ligament in a deeper plane.
Surgical release of the fundlform ligament, as well as the majority of the suspensory ligament of the penis, allows the corpora cavernosum to extend further from the pubic region.

Division of the penile suspensory ligament with or without the additional procedures of suprapubic fat pad excision and inverted VY plasty is a simple and commonly used penile lengthening technique.
Surgical division of this ligament may allow the penis to lie in a more dependent position and therefore give the appearance that the penile length has increased.
With the penis stretched, a transverse or inverted V suprapubic incision was used to divide the suspensory ligament close to the pubic symphysis until all midline attachments have been freed.

The reported statistics vary, but some of the more credible measurements taken from a sample of college men in a large university town revealed that the average erect penis is between 5-6 inches when measured from the base of the penis to the tip along the top side.
This is the ligament that attaches the base of the penis to the body.
There is actually about an inch of the corpora (the three tubes that make up the inside of the penis) in the body, by severing the suspensory ligament this inch or so of the penis can be coaxed out by using weights or stretching devices.

 I need a longer penis - JAMAICAOBSERVER.COM   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-31)
In terms of the problem of a small penis, most men who are dissatisfied with the size of their penis in fact have a penis that is within the normal range of variation.
Less satisfactory procedures such as cutting the suspensory ligament of the penis to make it hang lower and instilling fat under the penis to give it increased girth are merely illusory.
The first thing to do is to see urologist to completely assess you and if the penis is truly small and the wherewithal to access care abroad is available, referral to a reputable surgeon who does these procedures can be arranged.

 Penis Enlargement is a Fallacy
To lengthen a penis the surgeon snips the suspensory ligament that attaches the penis to the pubic bone and moves the skin from part of the abdomen to the penile shaft.
Once the ligament stabilizes the penis seems erect as it tilts upward and when its cut it looks longer as more of it hangs outside the body cavity.
However, the disadvantage is that the snipping of the ligament may cause the penis to wobble and be seen at odd angles-sometimes vertical, sometimes horizontal.
