Surgeons in Massachusetts General Hospital
have performed the first U.S. penis transplant
on 64 year old Thomas Manning who had his
penis amputated after he was diagnosed with
penile cancer in 2012.
The procedure performed on May 8 and May 9,
described by the doctors as a “surgical
milestone,” is called a gentitourinary
vascularized composite allograft, or GUVCA
and involves ‘surgically grafting the complex
microscopic vascular and neural structures of a
donor organ onto the comparable structures of
the recipient.
According to the hospital surgeons connected
the intricate vascular and nerve structures of a
donor penis with those of the 64-year-old
transplant recipient. The surgeons said their
goals were to reconstruct the Instruments giving it
a natural appearance and to re-establish
urinary and possibly sexual function.
Doctors said there are no signs of bleeding,
rejection or infection and are cautiously
optimistic that he will regain function.
“Today I begin a new chapter filled with
personal hope and hope for others who
have suffered genital injuries, particularly
for our service members who put their
lives on the line and suffer serious damage
as a result,” Manning said in a statement
provided by the hospital. He also
expressed gratitude to his family and his
medical team, as well as to the family of
the donor.
“We are hopeful that these reconstructive
techniques will allow us to alleviate the
suffering and despair of those who have
experienced devastating genitourinary
injuries and are often so despondent they
consider taking their own lives,” said Dr.
Curtis L. Cetrulo, a plastic and
reconstructive surgeon.
This is the first time such a surgery was
happening in the U.S, the first time such a
surgery was successfully carried out in the
world was in December 2014 at Tygerberg
Hospital in Cape Town, South Africa.
