South African Doctors Perform World's First Successful Penis Transplant by breakingnews234: 8:04am On Mar 16, 2015 |
A man underwent a penis transplant surgery that lasted 9 hours at Tygerberg Hospital in South Africa. Though the transplant was done in December, it was announced on 13th March after confirmation that the patient has made full recovery and regained both urinary and sexual function with the new penis. The 21-year-old man lost his penis three years ago after a botched circumcision. The complications from the local circumcision forced doctors to amputate his penis. Experts believe that around 250 young men lose their joysticks each year due to medical complications from this traditional ritual in South Africa. Professor André van der Merwe, head of the University's Division of Urology, said they were surprised by the patient's rapid recovery. He said: 'Our goal was that he would be fully functional at two years and we are very surprised by his rapid recovery. Professor Frank Graewe, another of the hospital's surgeons who assisted on the operation, said: 'It's a massive breakthrough. 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.' 'It was a privilege to be part of this first successful penis transplant in the world.' He added that finding a donor organ was one of the main challenges to the procedures, and called the man who donated his penis, and his family, 'heroes'. - See more at: http://www.breakingnews234.com/2015/03/south-africans-perform-worlds-first.html#sthash.Mvnue9Yh.dpuf
