A surgical tool includes a malleable elongate body having a flexible plunger rod slidably mounted in a bore therein and having a tapered and rounded forward end for ease of insertion into the body. A needle having suture material attached may be placed into the end of the rod, which can be retracted into the bore of the elongate body. In practice, the tool may be inserted into a bodily structure, such as one of the corpora cavernosum of a penis. The outer surface of the tool body may be equipped with measuring markings to allow the user to gauge the depth that the barrel has been inserted into a bodily structure. After the tool has been malleably bent to access the corpora cavernosa in the desired manner, the flexible plunger rod, with threaded suturing needle attached is slid along the bore to extend the needle out of the rounded, tapered end thereof. The needle is manually pulled out of the bodily structure. After the tool is withdrawn, the suture material remains threaded through the bodily structure.
