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". |
