Penectomy is penis removal through surgery, generally for medical or personal reasons.

[1] The amount of penis removed depends on the severity of the cancer.

[2] In rare instances, a botched circumcision can also result in a full or partial penectomy, as with David Reimer.

Patients who have undergone a partial penectomy as a result of a penile cancer diagnosis have reported similar sexual outcomes as prior to surgery.

Local government health services departments may be able to provide advice, names, and contact numbers.
