Romanian Surgeon Fined For Cutting Off Mans Penis

Surgeon Naum Ciomu severed a man’s penis by accident during an operation on the patient’s testicles.

In a shocking case of medical malpractice, a Romanian surgeon has been ordered to pay $795,000 in compensation to a patient whose penis he accidentally severed during surgery.

The surgeon, Naum Ciomu made an error whilst operating on the unnamed mans testicles, severing the penis instead of making an incision to the testicle.

The Bucharest Magistrates Court ruled that Ciomu was ‘superficial’ in his approach to the operation and ordered him to pay compensation fees, Ciomu was also handed a one-year suspended sentence, a ruling which can be appealed.

A piece of muscle from the man’s arm has now been attached to where his penis was, but its function is only aesthetic.

‘You don’t have to be an expert to realize that the 33-year-old victim does not have a good state of mind,’ said Mihai Olariu, the victim’s lawyer.
