First penis transplant

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.”(I soooooooo understand with the couple,I mean....another guys junior( Lol)
