No filter. TNB is the most effective PE treatment for severe primary cases — but it's not for everyone. Honest comparison with medication, glans filler, and other PE treatments before your consultation with Dr. Moon.

Standalone TNB or combined with glans filler — different cost/effect tradeoffs. Written by Dr. Moon for international patients deciding the best surgical PE approach.
Three quick questions. Anonymous. We'll determine if TNB is appropriate for your PE type — not all PE responds to surgical treatment. Final recommendation requires Dr. Moon's clinical assessment.
Get a personalized assessment based on your PE history, IELT, and treatment goals.
Realistic IELT improvement expectations after TNB. Individual results vary based on baseline IELT and PE type. We do not guarantee specific outcomes.
At 4 weeks post-TNB, patients resume sexual activity. Initial IELT typically 2-4 minutes (vs pre-op under 1 minute). Some temporary numbness still present — adds to delayed ejaculation. Most patients note significant improvement immediately.
At 3 months, IELT stabilizes at final long-term level. 75-85% of patients achieve IELT 4-7 minutes (vs pre-op under 1 minute). Numbness fully resolved. Effect is permanent — no maintenance needed. End of standard follow-up.
The exact 45-60 minute microsurgical procedure at our Seomyeon, Busan clinic — from initial assessment to walking out.
Detailed PE history. IELT diary review (recommended 4 weeks pre-visit). Differentiation of primary vs acquired PE. Prior treatment review. Physical examination of penile anatomy. Confirmation TNB is appropriate (not all PE responds).
Detailed informed consent (permanent procedure). Markings on penile dorsum. Sterilization of operating area. Local anesthetic injection (dorsal penile block) — feels like small pinches for 10-15 seconds.
Small incision (8-10mm) at penile base. Identification of dorsal nerve branches under microscope. Selective cutting of 3 specific branches responsible for hypersensitivity. Touch and erection nerves preserved. Dr. Moon personally performs every step.
Wound closure with dissolvable sutures. Sterile dressing applied. English aftercare instructions. Antibiotics and pain medication prescribed. Direct WhatsApp to Dr. Moon activated. Same-day discharge to hotel.
Realistic recovery timeline for TNB surgery. Most international patients fly home Day 3, sexual activity resumes at 4 weeks, and IELT improvement is measurable at 3 months.
Procedure complete. Mild ache controlled with ibuprofen. Numbness from local anesthesia lasts 6-8 hours. Loose underwear or athletic supporter recommended. Walk out of clinic same day. Rest at hotel.
Mild discomfort and swelling normal. Continue ibuprofen. Light walking around hotel. Fly home Day 2-3 (most patients). Continue antibiotics on schedule. Avoid hot showers (lukewarm only).
WhatsApp Dr. Moon a photo of incision site for healing confirmation. Sutures dissolving. Most patients return to office work. Glans numbness persists (expected). Avoid sexual activity (4-week minimum).
Incision healing well. Light exercise resumes (walking, cycling OK). Avoid chest exercises affecting groin pressure. Glans numbness gradually improving but still present. Continue avoiding sexual activity.
Sexual activity resumes. WhatsApp Dr. Moon for photo confirmation first. Initial IELT typically 2-4 minutes (vs pre-op under 1 min) — improvement visible immediately. Numbness mostly resolved.
Final IELT stabilizes. 75-85% of patients achieve 4-7 minute IELT (5-8 with glans filler combination). Numbness fully resolved. Effect is permanent — no maintenance needed. WhatsApp Dr. Moon satisfaction survey. End of standard follow-up.
Most PE clinics oversell TNB results. We don't at Urogyn Busan Seomyeon. Honest complication rates and outcome statistics from 500+ TNB procedures.
TNB has low complication rates in experienced hands but requires proper patient selection. Below is what 15 years of practice and 500+ TNB procedures have taught us about realistic rates and limitations at Urogyn Busan.
Two international patients share their experience flying to Busan, Seomyeon for TNB surgery — pre-op IELT, procedure, and 6-month outcomes.
"Lifelong PE, under 30 seconds since I was 18. Tried SSRIs for years — side effects. TNB in Busan changed everything — 5 minutes at 3 months. Should have done this a decade ago."
"Researched TNB worldwide — Korea has the highest expertise. Combined TNB + glans filler. From 45 seconds to 6 minutes. Marriage saved."
TNB candidates: severe primary PE (lifelong), IELT consistently under 1 minute, tried SSRI/medication without success or with intolerable side effects, no desire for daily pills. NOT candidates: acquired PE (recent onset), situational PE (variable), psychogenic PE, PE secondary to ED. Dr. Moon's screening identifies appropriate candidates — wrong indication = poor outcome.
Selective Dorsal Neurectomy (SDN) cuts multiple dorsal nerve branches. TNB is a refined technique cutting only 3 specific branches responsible for hypersensitivity while preserving touch and erection sensation. TNB has lower complication rates and better preservation of normal sensation compared to traditional SDN.
TNB is permanent. Once the 3 nerve branches are cut, they don't regenerate functionally. Long-term studies show effect maintained 10+ years post-surgery. The only "decline" reported is in 5-8% of patients who develop psychological re-conditioning over time — addressable with counseling.
TNB selectively cuts nerves responsible for hypersensitivity to friction, NOT nerves controlling erection or orgasm. Erection function preserved. Orgasm intensity preserved. Touch sensation preserved (with temporary 4-6 week numbness during healing). What changes: reduced hypersensitivity to friction = delayed ejaculation. That's the intended effect.
15-25% of patients see less than 4× IELT improvement (vs typical 4-7×). Options: (1) Add glans filler at 3 months for combined effect (free or partial cost depending on initial response), (2) Add daily low-dose SSRI for synergy, (3) Counseling for psychological component. Complete non-response is rare (under 5%) — usually indicates wrong indication (acquired PE) rather than technique failure.
Dr. Moon has performed 500+ TNB procedures over 15 years — the highest documented volume in Korea. International patients fly to Busan specifically for TNB because: (1) microsurgical precision requires high case volume, (2) outcome consistency depends on experience, (3) proper patient selection (avoiding wrong indications) requires clinical judgment built over many cases.
Yes. Most common combination: TNB + Glans Filler ($2,963) for maximum effectiveness. Also possible: TNB + Circumcision (same visit), TNB + Penis Enlargement (filler/fat). Combining procedures saves travel costs and total recovery time. Total stay typically 5-7 days for combinations.
4 weeks post-TNB. Photo confirmation via WhatsApp to Dr. Moon recommended first. Initial sexual activity should be gentle — glans is still adjusting. Use water-based lubricant. Avoid prolonged or aggressive activity for first 2 weeks of resumption. Most patients note immediate IELT improvement at first post-op intercourse.
No. TNB is permanent. Cut nerves do not regenerate functionally. If you have any doubt, start with reversible options first: SSRI medication, glans filler (reversible with hyaluronidase). TNB should only be chosen when you've decided permanent PE solution is your goal.
Korean pricing reflects lower facility costs, no insurance markup, direct-pay model. TNB at Urogyn Busan ($1,296) costs 50-60% less than equivalent US/UK PE surgery ($2,500-$4,000). Korea is also one of the few countries with high-volume TNB surgeons — Dr. Moon's expertise developed through 500+ procedures gives world-class outcomes at Korean pricing.
Credit card, bank transfer, or crypto accepted. Card descriptor reads "Busan Health Clinic" — not the procedure name. Payment: 50% deposit / 50% on procedure day. Itemized English receipts available. All patient information protected by Korean medical privacy laws.
Yes, but only because of the IELT improvement — that's the goal. Physical appearance: small 8-10mm scar at penile base, fades to near-invisible at 3-6 months. After full recovery: no visible signs of having had surgery. Partner experience: dramatic improvement in intercourse duration.
Four reasons: (1) Dr. Moon's 500+ procedures = highest volume in Korea, (2) 50-60% lower cost than US/UK, (3) Outpatient procedure with 3-day stay — combine with Busan tourism, (4) WhatsApp follow-up means no second international visit needed. International patients from US, Europe, Australia regularly choose Busan specifically for TNB.
