A MAN whose penis and a testicle were ripped off in a Huddersfield accident in the 1970s has received pioneering surgery to restore his manhood.

Mohammed Abad was lucky to survive after he was run over on Bradford Road, Fartown, in 1978, aged six.

Now 40, he has become the star of Channel Four show Embarrassing Bodies after his penis was rebuilt using fat from his left arm.

He was the first man in Britain to have the new type of reconstructive surgery last November.

His story was recently featured by the popular TV show, along with interviews on breakfast programme This Morning.

Mo, who moved to Edinburgh as a teenager but still has relatives in Fartown and Dalton, told The Examiner the horror accident happened as he was heading home from Birkby Junior School.

He said: “In those days you used to get escorted home for lunch.

“I was messing about with school friends and we were throwing snowballs at each other.

“There must’ve been eight or nine of us and I got the last throw in as we were about to cross Bradford Road.

“In retaliation a girl pushed me into the road and I got hit by a car and was dragged for 600ft down the road.

“They gave me 12 hours to live.

“I was taken to HRI and then Bradford St Luke’s.”

Mo miraculously survived but spent the next 18 months in and out of hospital.

At the time doctors built him a tube using skin from his leg so he could urinate, but his new penis was entirely without sensation and had no sexual function.

In all he has had more than 100 operations and has never been able to go the toilet standing up.

But now, after receiving help from the Channel 4 show, he has had a 12-hour operation at London’s University College Hospital, where surgeons created him a new penis using tissue from his forearm.

Doctors expect nerves in the tissue to grow in which can then be connected to nerves in his genitals.

The operation allows him to pass urine and ejaculate.

Experts believe he could one day father the two children he desires.

Mo said he had no grudge against the girl who pushed him into the road and had no idea if she knew what had happened to him.

He said: “I don’t think it was malicious. It could have happened to anyone as there was other people out there.

“I’ve never seen her since it happened and I don’t know where she is now.”

Mo returned to school in Huddersfield, moving on to high school in the town before his family moved to Scotland when he was 13.

He said: “School was a nightmare, it was horrendous.

“I used to get teased and emotionally bullied.”

More than three decades on his fortunes are looking up as he prepares for the final operation that will give him sensation and finally allow him to make love to his wife.

Mo has two more operations, scheduled for April and September, which will also be featured by Embarrassing Bodies.
