Ol’ Wheelbarrow ScrotOl’ Wheelbarrow Scrot
A man from Battle Creek, Michigan had to undergo a 14-hour operation to remove his 80-pound scrotum due to a rare condition called scrotal lymphedema. This left him in constant pain and struggling to walk, shower, or use the toilet. The condition also prevented him from having sex with his wife for seven years.
Initially, doctors were unable to determine the cause of his condition, until he saw a TLC show titled The Man with the 132lb Scrotum and reached out to Warren’s doctor, Dr Joel Gelman, at UC Irvine Medical Centre.
In 2014, Maurer underwent a 14-hour operation involving a team of eight surgeons and 12 support staff to remove 80lbs of tissue from his scrotum and around 70lbs of fat from his stomach.
Following the surgery, Maurer was able to live a more normal life and found tasks such as walking and having sexual relations easier. Dr Gelman noted that while massive scrotal lymphedema is a rare condition, they have treated men with this condition successfully for many years.
