It's the tube skin-flap technique for getting blood from one area to another area. Not a big page but;

[–]Subalpine 271 points272 points ago

his transformation into a little teapot is almost complete.

[–]AnkhStar 31 points32 points ago

But is he short and stout?

[–]dno_bot 19 points20 points ago

i see the handle, I don't want to see the spout.

[–]Midnight_Skye 1 point2 points ago

He already knows, why did you think he had a sheet?

Edit: Just noticed, Spongebob.

[–]Subalpine 33 points34 points ago

We have the technology.

[–]lyzzzel 12 points13 points ago

We can rebuild him.

[–]JabberJauw 0 points1 point ago

We have the capability to make the worlds first bionic man

[–]tus93 0 points1 point ago

*bionic teapot

[–]RDandersen 9 points10 points ago

Burger King from age 5?

[–]kcinaz 0 points1 point ago

Don't tip him over or you'll hear him shout!

[–]alphanovember 6 points7 points ago

"They said I could become anything... so I became a teapot".

[–]snutr 15 points16 points ago

We'd always have walking-stalk on Thanksgiving, with all the trimmings: cranberries, injun eyes, yams stuffed with gunpowder. Then we'd all watch football, which in those days was called baseball...

[–]JeffVanGundy 0 points1 point ago

Walking bird, not walking stalk.

[–]lieutenant_surge 0 points1 point ago

tubular dude!

[–]Terngo 1 point2 points ago

Did he lose his thumb, or do I see that wrong?

[–][deleted] 90 points91 points ago

Is that his dick sewn onto his leg?

[–]ghostbackwards 22 points23 points ago

and then into his hand?! WTF!!!

[–]moneymet 22 points23 points ago

That is what I call love.

[–]bael2188 2 points3 points ago

I can't believe you don't have more upvotes, that statement was brilliant.

[–]sophiepritch5 10 points11 points ago

Wtf is going on here? Is that sewn to his hand? What is the purpose of this, medically?

[–]gloomdoom 8 points9 points ago

To get blood into extremities when that part of the body isn't receiving oxygen or blood. It's only temporary to help injuries heal in those with compromised circulation or immune systems.

[–]sophiepritch5 2 points3 points ago

ah okay, thanks, but is that tube of skin attached/sewn to both his hip and his hand?

[–]reel_big_ad 0 points1 point ago

Yep

[–]alphanovember 1 point2 points ago

So a blood vessel just fucking grows? That's pretty neat.

[–]pumpmar -1 points0 points ago

so why not just do a blood transplant?

[–]purplestOfPlatypuses 2 points3 points ago

Because he would need the blood changed every few minutes minimum? Blood isn't gonna help much if it's gonna sit there and clot because it's not moving.

[–]dangersdad 21 points22 points ago

It's reconstructive surgery for the hand. IANAD, but it seems to bring a lot more blood and such for healing. Hear ya go.... http://journals.lww.com/plasreconsurg/Fulltext/2012/02000/The_Split_Pedicle_Groin_Flap___New_Refinement_in.85.aspx

[–]Mainstreamscott 1 point2 points ago

I here ya! Thanks for the info.

[–]Autumnsprings 1 point2 points ago

thank you!

[–]Frack-Star 97 points98 points ago

I find this difficult to flap to.

[–]Vegall_st 25 points26 points ago

but not impossible.

[–]goochtickler 9 points10 points ago

Challenge accepted.

[–]trehaag 1 point2 points ago

I can't believe you tried to fap to this...

[–]pinkythug 17 points18 points ago

r/wtf needs more post like this

[–]Divotus 2 points3 points ago

the first actual wtf today I believe...

[–]Bramphousian 12 points13 points ago

You have the weirdest boner right now

[–]Spaid 6 points7 points ago

Someone's seriously going to have to explain this one to me. Slowly.

[–]Ffunny_frends 0 points1 point ago

Same. Thoroughly confused.

[–][deleted] 16 points17 points ago

Attaching the penis directly to the hand may save time when it all heals up.

[–]GingerKing96 3 points4 points ago

ATTACH DIRECTLY TO THE HAND.

[–]vsandmnv 10 points11 points ago

Sewn to your hand????

[–]gradivus22 8 points9 points ago

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNkZpySwdt4

Sewns backs together wrong?

[–]DeaditeQueen 6 points7 points ago

Pardon me good sir/Madame, but if it wouldn't be too much trouble could you please TELL ME WTF IM LOOKING AT?!?!!?

[–]Gladwraplol 2 points3 points ago

I have those Spongebob pajamas. I don't think I'll ever be able to put them on again.

[–]Arknell 2 points3 points ago

Back and forth...forever.

[–]AutisticRorr 2 points3 points ago

I used to have those same PJ pants!

[–]yourenzyme 0 points1 point ago

I still own them! Comfy as hell.

[–]Karmakerosene 1 point2 points ago

What exactly am I looking at here?

[–]Om_hilal 2 points3 points ago

I love the sponge bob pajama pants he is using to cover up. I think Sponge Bob makes the best facial expressions out of any cartoon

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Best reply ever.

[–]natalietigertree 5 points6 points ago

Wtf is the medical purpose of this??

[–]Waldinian 2 points3 points ago

Reconstrucive surgery to increase circulation from one area of the body to another.

[–]Eloquium[S] 1 point2 points ago

A fine cake day to you too!

I didn't even notice!

You're on r/WTF

Get over it or GTFO

[–]DarwinismObvious 20 points21 points ago

I don't see how anyone could read the words " Surgical Groin Flap" And not think this might be inappropriate. I'm all for tagging things NSFW, but come on, this ones obvious.

[–]rick_22 3 points4 points ago

Some people use RES, and the image opens... And the ones who don't want NSFW links use the RES NSFW filter.

And as a no native english speaker, I don't have a fucking clue of what is a groin flap...

[–]movzx 2 points3 points ago

Do you know what a groin is?

[–]MisterDonkey 2 points3 points ago

How 'bout get off of WTF and get back to work!

There, nsfw is not a problem anymore.

[–]rick_22 0 points1 point ago

What if I'm at home, and my parents are beside me?

[–]DarwinismObvious 1 point2 points ago

I guess the first part is reasonable. But surely you've heard of a groin right?

[–]r81984 13 points14 points ago

How is it NSFW, its a round flap of skin.

[–]bigmancrabclaws 8 points9 points ago

Can you not browse /r/WTF at work.

[–]zuchiezuch 1 point2 points ago

Do explain....

[–]Garizondyly 0 points1 point ago

Am I the only one that sees the balls formed by the wire?

[–]TazerSquid 0 points1 point ago

Suddenly, and for the first time, I want to see "The Human Centipede"!

[–]Jeeonta 1 point2 points ago

I just saw it yesterday, was my first thought as well.

[–]lsguy 1 point2 points ago

wut. why?

[–]ajmeeh6842 -1 points0 points ago

I'm so confused...

[–]reagan2016 0 points1 point ago

I came here to find out WTF is going on.

[–]rumdogg 1 point2 points ago

what, um

[–]elimasmx 1 point2 points ago

Can somebody please explain in simple words? I think what's happening here is that a strip of skin from the leg was pulled up to form a tube and connects the blood supply from the body to the hand, I'm I right?

[–]lawlshane 1 point2 points ago

tubed pedicle. a technique made to treat disfigured WWI vets

[–]AiseKrom 0 points1 point ago

Fun fact, this technique was used to create penises later on for sex change operations.

[–]mrsnorthman 0 points1 point ago

I'm not sure what's going on here... But I'd like to know?

[–]nismo9 0 points1 point ago

mother of god

[–]ofwgktalyson 1 point2 points ago

okay I still dont get what the fuck its for? Isn't that a bit inconvenient

[–]Loogal25 1 point2 points ago

From what I've read, it's not a penis but a thumb or finger that has suffered a significant injury to it and a skin graft was not possible so the new tissue etc was grown in the body and there was less chance of rejection/infection and it also speeds up the healing process.

[–]ketaminekid 0 points1 point ago

da fuck did i just look at

[–]generic_online_name 1 point2 points ago

This is horrible. What if he gets chilly, and needs to put on a sweater?

[–]Spazayd 0 points1 point ago

Look at the links the comments provided. Still highly confused.

[–]FootballBatPlayer 0 points1 point ago

That's most definitely some what the fuckage.

[–]l0s71 1 point2 points ago

[–]Black_Dynamite66 1 point2 points ago

It may be a surgical term, but il be damned if this isnt anything but some weird form of Masturbation

[–]Masshole3000 1 point2 points ago

What the fuck did I just see..

[–]nathanawake 0 points1 point ago

Why would you even do this?

[–]mattycito 0 points1 point ago

Anyone seen The Human Centipede? If not, don't watch it. If so, I'm sorry.

[–]DrDWayneLove 1 point2 points ago

What what what is this

[–]MisterDonkey 0 points1 point ago

Showing us that grotesque abomination sticking out of his thigh, and he's afraid we'll see his penis?

Wow.

[–]greg8872 0 points1 point ago

Finally, something that fits into WTF????????????????

[–]Ruckusleaf 0 points1 point ago

I like how he's covering his junk "Woah, can't show my peen, that would be gross!"

[–]thestoopkid_ 0 points1 point ago

how does he get his shirts on?

[–]Aaron252016 0 points1 point ago

what is that really?

[–]mlima1 0 points1 point ago

Should be nsfw/nsfl

[–]HolyNarwhal 1 point2 points ago

What am I looking at exactly? Been staring at it for a while but I can only discern what appears to be a dick surgically implanted into the palm which is then being used to fuck a hole near the pelvis. Did I get it right?

[–]IamMurphysLaw 0 points1 point ago

Poor sponge bob looks terrified.

[–]TalonX1982 0 points1 point ago

[–]MurrayTheZit -1 points0 points ago

That's the weirdest Japanese porn I've ever seen.

[–]Donigleus -4 points-3 points ago

If that's his dick sewn to his leg, why is he covering up his groin?

[–]MeEvilBob -4 points-3 points ago

This is perfect when you're driving and you don't want to stop to piss, just open the door and piss right out the side while you drive. Aah if only Billy Mayes lived long enough to sell elective surgeries, I'd love to see his spin on this.

[–]_vektor_ 2 points3 points ago

and you don't want to stop to piss

It's a tube made of skin, not his dick.
