Tags:

Abnormal growth of a nerve, especially at a cut end. Neurmas are a complication of circumcision, causing confusion of sensations.

Neurotomy

Tags:

The severing (Neurotomy) or surgical removal (Neurectomy) of part or all of a nerve. In the 19th century, a neurotomy was performed at the base of the penis to reduce sensation of the penis, and thereby any type of sexual pleasure. Invariably, this also occurs during all types of circumcision because the nerve endings in the ridged band and the inner foerskin are removed, thereby the cause of some of the reduction of sexual pleasure of cut men
