Doctors from Stellenbosch University and the Tygerberg Hospital in Cape Town, South Africa are reported to have performed the world's first successful penis transplant.
A team of Chinese doctors had first attempted to transplant a penis in 2006, but had been forced to reverse the procedure after the patient started suffering from psychological problems. In the latest surgery, the South African doctors transplanted a penis from a donor who had died, to a penis amputee who had lost his organ three years ago after complications resulting from circumcision. The recipient had been left with a stump of less than 1.5cm, making it impossible for him to stand up and urinate, or have sexual intercourse.
