I've heard some Muslim brothers get surgery on their penis for better sexual pleasure for their partner. Is that actually a thing? What does it involve and are there any risks or benefits I should know about?

Penile enhancement surgeries exist but lack medical consensus and carry risks like scarring or nerve damage; not typically recommended for pleasure alone.
