A Kentucky man who sued a surgeon for amputating his penis without permission during a routine operation has lost his battle in court, RadarOnline.com has learned.

A jury in Shelby County, Kentucky, unanimously agreed on Wednesday that Dr. John Patterson exercised appropriate care when he removed a portion of Phillip Seaton's penis in October 2007 during a routine circumcision operation to treat inflammation, reported ABCNews.com.

The verdict appears to be influenced by the fact that Seaton, a truck driver who can not read or write, signed a consent form for a routine circumcision.

Instead of a cheated wife or jilted girlfriend, it was an esteemed surgeon who chopped off Phillip Seaton's penis and now the castrated man is seeking revenge in court.

Dr. John Patterson is being sued for removing Seaton's penis without his permission during a routine operation in October 2007, and the trial got underway in Shelby, Kentucky, on Monday, reported ABCNews.com.

Seaton, a truck driver who can't read or write, and his wife Deborah are seeking damages for "loss of service, love and affection," against the surgeon after the victim went in for a routine circumcision and came out a eunuch.
