Nine month-old baby to undergo penis transplant

Peter Moses, Ilorin

A nine-month-old, Buhari Muhammad, whose genital was cut off by his step-mother in June 2016, would undergo his next surgery when he reaches puberty.

Muhammad had his first corrective surgery at the Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Bida, Niger, in February.

The Head of Medical Unit of the state Child Rights Protection Agency, Suleiman Makusidi, in Minna on Tuesday said that the next surgery would be a penis transplant.‎

“When the boy reaches puberty and when blood has started flowing through his penis, a transplant will be carried out; the transplant will be carried out either in Nigeria or abroad.

“The corrective surgery that was done in February was to reopen the hole that was created for the boy to pass urine after it was discovered that the hole was closing back. The urinary passage, which was created like that of the female, is a temporary one to enable him pass urine.
