The pain at the op site is still there, but now I can walk about at home. Maybe I can start working next week. There goes all my plan for birding and all.

Thanks to doctors and nurses at surgical ward Kenanga 8 & 7, for their hard work and dedication.
There was reported case of accidental penis amputated from local newspaper yesterday. Here the report from english paper, and from malay newspaper
Gland Penis partial or total amputation should not occur if the Medical Assistant or Doctor properly visualize the gland penis (head of penis) during the circumcision procedure. That why the dorsal slip method is advise compare to guillotine - where the fore skin of penis is cut by knife ala infamous killing technique in France Revolution - (pulling the foreskin forward and cutting off the part extending beyond the glans, the amount of skin removed depends on the tension he exerts).
There are many new technique using clamp of various names.
Our local "Tok Mudim" is using those guillotine method, but I have never heard of amputation complication except for wound infection, bleeding and late wound healing.
Here are another examples of old article from Massachusetts Lawyer's weekly about circumcision mishap. This is another case.
*** The above picture is a Dorsal-slit-and-side-cuts technique, the amount depends on doctor arbitrary choice of a line. The penis may be left totally bareheaded or partially covered. Working freehand, the doctor may or may not remove the frenulum and will leave a varying amount of the mucous inner lining.
Anak saya berkhatan pada November 2004. Tok Mudin - Ayahnya.
Hukum berkhatan: ============= Ulama berbeza pendapat tentang kedudukan hukum berkhatan. Menurut Imam Shafie, Imam Malik dan Hambali, berkhatan bagi lelaki hukumnya wajib, berdasarkan firman Allah S.W.T dalam Al_Quran surah al-Nisa' ayat 125 dan hadis Rasullah S.A.W. "Potonglah rambut jahiliah dan berkhatanlah". {H.R. Ahmad dan Abu Daud}. Namun menurut Mazhab Hanafi, hukumnya adalah sunat berdasarkan sabda nabi: "Khatan hukumnya sunat bagi lelaki dan kehormatan (makrumah) bagi perempuan {H.R. Muslim}.
[Ref:Ensiklofedia Islam Untuk Pelajar - vol 3, page 97]
Nabi Ibrahim AS berkhatan ketika berusia 80 tahun. Beliau khatankan Nabi Ismail AS pada usia 13 dan Nabi Ishaq AS pada usia 7 tahun. Ada riwayat mengatakan Rasulullah SAW dilahirkan sudah berkhatan dan ada juga riwayat mengatakan baginda dikhatan oleh Malaikat Jibrail.
