Doctor erects new life for Australian -- SYDNEY, Australia (UPI) A man who underwent microsurgery a month ago to reconnnect his severed penis says the operation was a complete success and that he was able to engage in sex. Leitu Fiso of Belmore, a western suburb of Sydney, under- went the operation at Prince of Wales Hospital after his organ was allegedly severed by a jealous lover. Surgeons told Fiso he should test the pennis one month after the operation by attempting to have an erection and then a few days later by having sexual intercourse. Fiso said in a television interview Monday night that he had sexual inter- course Sunday night and that the penis worked perfectly, although he suffered some pain. "It made me very happy. When it was cut off I was worried I was going to die," Fiso said. The surgeon who performed the operation said it was slightly more difficult than sewing on a finger. "The penis is not perfectly normal, but it is fairly good," the doctor said. -- --Keith E. Brandt wd9get@pur-ee "Goodbye, cruel world that was my home- there's cleaner space out here to roam.
