South African Doctors Successfully Perform Second Penis Transplant by RapportNaija(m): 9:04am On May 23, 2017
South African doctors from the Stellenbosch University have performed its second successful penis transplant operation in the country.

According to Times Live, the recipient whose name wasn’t revealed for ethical reasons is a 40-year-old man and has been without a penis for 17 years after a botched traditional circumcision.

In a statement released by Professor Andre Van der Merwe‚ Head of the Division of Urology at Stellenbosch University at the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, he said the patient: “is certainly one of the happiest patients we have seen in our ward. He is doing remarkably well. There are no signs of rejection and all the reconnected structures seem to be healing well.”

According to the Prof, the patient is expected to regain full use of his penis within six months of the transplant.

The first ever penis transplant was done in 2014 and it was the world’s first successful penile transplant which was also performed by Van der Merwe and his team at Tygerberg Hospital on December 11, 2014.

“About two years later, the patient is doing extremely well, both physically and mentally”, Van der Merwe said”

“He is living a normal life. His urinary and sexual functions have returned to normal, and he has virtually forgotten that he had a transplant,” he added.

Editor’s Note: What transplant do Nigerian Doctors perform? If you ask me, I would say Pregnancy transplant – that’s aborting from the womb to the bin.
