>A top transgender surgeon is being sued by two patients who claim their operations left them with deformed genitals.
>Two anonymous transgender men have filed separate lawsuits against Dr. Curtis Cetrulo over their 'botched' phalloplasties at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) in Boston.
>Cetrulo, a renowned plastic surgeon who performed the first successful penis transplant in the United States in 2016, worked at MGH's Transgender Health Program.
>The lawsuits claim that Cetrulo's 'delayed abdominal phalloplasty' operations on both patients were 'untested and experimental' procedures that resulted in severe complications.
>According to the court filings, a delayed abdominal phalloplasty is a staged procedure that uses skin from the abdomen to construct a penis.
>One patient from New Mexico who traveled to Boston for the surgery claimed the operation left him with a 'severely deformed, scarred, and nonfunctional structure that was intended to serve as phallus.'
>The patient said doctors ultimately had to remove it.
>The other patient, a transgender man from Massachusetts, said the botched surgery has caused his wife to suffer the 'severe restriction of the benefit of the full services, society, and affection of [him].'
>Both patients claims they suffered severe complications including having their surgical wounds split open, catheter leakage, urinary complications and infections.
