South Africa claims first successful penis transplant
Doctors in Cape Town say patient has regained all
urinary and reproductive functions after ground-
breaking operation.
The reportedly successful penis transplant could
have pivotal consequences for the medical
community [AFP]
South African doctors have confirmed that they
performed the world's first successful penis
transplant, three months after conducting the
ground-breaking operation.
The 21-year-old patient had his penis amputated
three years ago after a botched circumcision at a
traditional initiation ceremony.
In a nine-hour operation at the Tygerberg Hospital
in Cape Town on December 11 last year, he
received his new penis from a deceased donor.
"We've proved that it can be done -- we can give
someone an organ that is just as good as the one
that he had," said Professor Frank Graewe, head of
plastic reconstructive surgery at Stellenbosch
University.
"It was a privilege to be part of this first successful
penis transplant in the world."
Doctors said the man, whose identity has not been
disclosed, has made a full recovery since the
operation and had regained all his urinary and
reproductive functions.
In 2006, a Chinese man had a penis transplant but
his doctors removed the organ after two weeks due
to "a severe psychological problem of the recipient
and his wife".
