A CANCER patient who lost most of his penis to a flesh-eating superbug after a routine operation has won a six-figure payout.

Andrew Lane can no longer have sex and is incontinent after his nightmare ordeal, which has left him with just a tiny stump where his manhood once was.

The 63-year-old was due to have his prostate removed at Southend Hospital, in southeast England, in March 2013.

But in the aftermath of the surgery he contracted the potentially killer bug, necrotising fasciitis.

It ate away at his insides, leaving doctors no option but to remove all the contaminated tissue including most of his penis.

He was left with just an 3.81cm of his penis.

Mr Lane was rushed to theatre but the damage caused by the vicious infection was already severe by the time medics picked it up.

They discovered his bowel had been punctured during the operation, six days previously, his lawyers said.

Mr Lane had to have a large section of stomach muscle removed, which has left him looking nine months pregnant.

Southend University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust has admitted there was a delay in diagnosing Mr Lanes condition, and the case was settled in July for an undisclosed six-figure sum, lawyers Slater and Gordon said.

Mr Lane said: Theyve admitted their mistake, but Ive not had an apology and knowing that just a scan a few days earlier would have prevented all of this is very difficult to accept.

Ive been compensated, but Ill never get my health back and I just want other people to be aware of how dangerous this flesh-eating bug is.

If you dont feel you are getting the right treatment, you have got to speak out.

Mr Lane, who married his long-term partner shortly after being discharged from hospital, can no longer have sex, is incontinent and has been treated for depression following the life-changing operation.

My wife Sue and I have been together for 18 years and enjoyed a healthy sex life, but since this happened that has been impossible, he said.

The desire is still there, but the little thats left just doesnt function anymore.

Its been a difficult thing to come to terms with for both of us. I know Sue still loves me, but I do feel less of a man.

Mr Lane, who now works as a carer, added: Because I have no muscle tissue my intestines just hang out and I look like Im nine months pregnant.

Im at greater risk of hernias and I have two so Im in constant pain.

Depends on what that first figure is

Like if its 105,000 then that's bullshit but if its 982,000 that's pretty nice

All the time. Retirement communities are just old people banging.

After my Mum died my Dad went onto a dating website and the thirsty women just threw themselves at him.

I mean obviously not but if it did happen I'd be a lot happier with 982k and no penis than I would be with 0k and no penis

Yeah I know some people like to sabotage themselves for insurance payouts but I don't think getting your penis eaten by superbugs would be a scheme.

Then again maybe that's how he gets away with it.
