Costica Maloreanu, 55, said he's "devastated"
after he went to a Romanian hospital for a kidney
operation and ended up having his penis
chopped off.
A "devastated" ex-soldier from Romania is suing
a hospital after he went in for a kidney
operation and had his penis cut off instead.
Costica Maroleanu, 55, said County Hospital in
eastern Romania removed his manhood after a
nurse improperly inserted a catheter, causing a
severe infection.
"It was totally cut off," Maroleanu told reporters,
according to the Inquisitr. "Now I urinate
through an orifice that doctors made between
my anus and my testicles. I urinate just like a
woman. I'm devastated."
The patient, who had kidney failure, said his
penis became "red and infected" after the
successful kidney surgery — performed by Dr.
Lurie Ciochina — because of the incorrect
catheter fitting.
He was moved to intensive care and then to the
hospital's nephrology department, where he
stayed for 10 days, according to Central
European News. He was later transferred to
Bucharest Military Hospital.Dr. Lurie Ciochina performed the successful
kidney surgery at County Hospital in eastern
Romania.
By then, his penis had turned black and became
highly infectious, a hospital spokesperson told
the Inquisitr.
"The foreskin was stripped away completely, and
most of the cells in the organ were dead," the
hospital said. "It was recommended to remove
the necrotic elements, meaning amputation."
Maroleanu is now seeking $600,000 from the
hospital in a malpractice suit.
"If they hadn't botched things up at the
beginning this wouldn't have happened," he told
CEN.
