As the result of experience in reassignment surgery, Dr Haertsch is referred numerous problems with respect to the male genitalia, particularly male circumcision as well as reduction of penoscrotal web and dealing with cases of hidden penis.

He does not perform penile lengthening and thickening, as he is of the opinion that this surgery has no place in the surgical armamentarium and that it does not work.

Circumcision

Associate Professor Haertsch performs adult circumcision and also deals with post circumcision problems, such as tight scars on the frenulum which may have split.

Scrotal webbing

Scrotal webbing is caused by a webbing between the penis and scrotum that makes the penis appear short on its undersurface. It may lead to discomfort during intercourse and problems with wearing condoms. Dr Haertsch is happy to discuss the matter and perform surgery if appropriate.

Disappearing Penis

Quite often as men age and put on weight, the fatty hairy area (mons pubis) falls over the penis which then appears to disappear. This causes embarrassment and also problems with urination. Dr Haertsch is happy to discuss this problem and ways of dealing with it.
