Wife cuts off husband's penis in Nueva Viscaya
abs-cbnNEWS.com | 12/18/2008 1:14 PM
An allegedly abusive security guard in Nueva Viscaya woke up Wednesday morning with his wife and penis gone.
Security guard Bong Dangiw, 28, woke up with a stabbing pain in his groin area and felt something was missing.
Dangiw's fear was confirmed when he reached down and saw blood on his hand. He called for help, but his wife didn't respond.
Police said that according to the security guard, he had a drinking spree with his wife, Agnes, the night before.
The woman could have "bobbitized" her husband while sleeping, police said, referring to the famous case of Lorena Bobbit.
They said the man did not feel anything because he was heavily drunk when his penis was cut off.
The police tried to look for the sliced penis of the victim, but to no avail.
Investigators said that months before the incident, Dangiws wife filed a maltreatment complaint against him. Police said the woman also suspects Dangiw has another woman.
Policemen are now hunting down the wife while the victim is confined at the Veterans Regional Hospital in Nueva Viscaya. With a report from ABS-CBN Isabela

Re: Guy in Phillipines loses penis to wife
This is when you really wish you could regrow a new penis in a few months. This might be a reality someday. Even now scientists are growing penises in petri dishes. In fact, it's been six years since I've heard any news about this, I wonder if there has been any advancement in growing penises, human male penises?

Penis in a Petri dish
September 12 2002
American researchers say they have grown penis parts in a lab dish, offering hope for men who are less than well endowed, New Scientist reports.
But before anyone reaches for the phone, there's a small caveat.
The technique has only been tested on rabbits and it will be a while before it can be tried with human tissue.
After growing a fully functional bladder in their laboratory, a team of tissue engineers headed by Anthony Atala of Harvard Medical School girded their loins for an assault on the male member.
"The penis is more complex than any of the organs we have engineered so far," Mr Atala told the British scientific weekly.
His team has grown corpora cavernosa - the spongy tissues that swell with blood during stimulation and makes the penis erect.
His team first extracted "scaffolds" of collagen from the erectile tissue of rabbits and then used these as a framework on which to grow muscle cells and endothelial cells - the smooth, specialised cells which line blood vessels.
After letting this culture grow for a few days, he removed the exterior part of the penises of 18 luckless rabbits, leaving the nerves and urethra intact.
He then replaced them with the engineered erectile tissue - and once the rabbits had recovered from the surgery, they started to behave ... well, like rabbits.
Within 30 seconds of being put in a cage with a female, the rabbits attempted to have sex.
They were able to copulate, penetrate and produce sperm and, because the implanted tissues were grown from the rabbits' own cells, there was no risk of rejection by the animal's immune system.
Mr Atala discovered that the implanted tissue generated about half of the normal blood pressure of an erect penis - in other words, about the same as the penis of a 60-year-old man as compared to that of a 30-year-old man.
His lab is now trying to improve the quality of the tissue, to make it comparable to that of a young animal, and to engineer entire penises, including nerves.
If, eventually, the technique proves suitable for humans, it could be a boon for children born with genital abnormalities or for men who have suffered a penile injury, for instance from a botched circumcision.
But the most lucrative market of all would be for men who want a bigger penis. At present, desperate males often turn to prosthetic implants or injections of fat cells, which are expensive, prone to infection and failure.
The average size of the erect penis is much smaller than most men think. According to a 1995 study quoted by New Scientist, it is only 12.8 centimetres long.
In a sign of male sensitivity, an Italian study this year found that of 67 men who sought enlargement, all had penises well within the normal size range.

You would think that the Chinese surgery to surgically attach a donor penis would be all the rage in the Orient, given the predisposition of wives to remove their husbands penises so consistently.

China achieves world's first allogeneic penis tissue graft operation
Experts with the urological department of the Guangzhou General Hospital of the Guangzhou Military Area Command did a 7-hour operation, implanting an allogeneic penis for a man who lost his in an accident, marking that the first success has been achieved in the allogeneic penis tissue operation, according to a Xinhua report on September 21.
The patient, 44, suffered an accident after over-drinking a year before, causing the loss of his penis completely. He was in great pain in mind although his life was saved in rescue.
He went to the hospital for treatment, which attracted the attention from Hu Weilie, director with the urological department. He was eager for penis implantation. However, there was no successful example achieved in this field worldwide.
After full discussions, the department carried out three experiments of penis vivisection, obtaining relevant data and experience.
On September 20, the hospital did the operation for him soon after it got a penis donation. The operation started at 21 pm on the same day and by 4 am the next morning, the operation was finished with another penis attached. And a complete success was made.
Hu Weilie said generally speaking, there are three ways for the treatment. 1 autotransplantation, also known as re-plantation, 2 penis reconstruction, which is made of a patient's own skin by a reconstructive surgeon, 3 allogeneic penis tissue grafts.

Then again, if the Chinese perfect this type of surgery would it lead to a rash of penis amputations by angry wives/women? I mean, if you knew doctors could grow/manufacture a new one or attach a donor penis, you might not hesitate as much to cut off your wandering husbands penis. Would they quickly run out of donors? Questions, questions!
