The teen now has no problem having normal erections and has full sensation.
The teenager requested the operation after his penis pictured on an X-ray grew too large The teenager had suffered from several bouts of priapism - an unwanted erection, due to having a condition in which abnormally-shaped blood cells block vessels in the penis, causing it to swell.
The American teen requested the surgery after his penis grew too large, restricting his ability to have sex or play competitive sports.
Whereas the first teenager had an obvious medical condition that needed treating, performing surgery on someone who is completely healthy but having difficulties with the size of his penis is another matter, said Dr Carrion.
The teenager said he was unable to have sex or play competitive sport, had difficulty wearing his pants due to his 'large and heavy phallus', and was embarrassed by how visible it appeared underneath clothing file pic The doctors were able to bypass the urethra - the tube which carries urine through the penis - and all of the nerves that provide sensation.
Surgeons described it as being shaped like an American football.
