A Kentucky man claims surgeon removed his penis without consent during circumcision<\/h1>\n

LOUISVILLE, Kentucky\u00a0– A man who claims his penis was removed without his consent during what was supposed to be a circumcision has sued the doctor who performed the surgery.<\/p>\n

Phillip Seaton, 61, and his wife are seeking unspecified compensation from Dr. John M. Patterson and the medical practice that performed the circumcision for “loss of service, love and affection.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

A woman who answered the phone at Commonwealth Urology would not take a message for the doctor Thursday. But the Seaton’s attorney said the doctor’s post-surgical notes show the doctor thought he detected cancer and removed the penis. Attorney Kevin George said a later test did detect cancer.<\/p>\n

“It was not an emergency,” George told The Associated Press on Thursday. “It didn’t have to happen that way.”<\/p>\n

The lawsuit filed earlier this month in state court claims Patterson removed Seaton’s penis without consulting either Phillip or Deborah Seaton, or giving them an opportunity to seek a second opinion.<\/p>\n

The Seatons’ suit is similar to one in which an Indianapolis man was awarded more than $2.3 million in damages after he claimed his penis and left testicle were removed without his consent during surgery for an infection in 1997.<\/p>\n
