First successful penis transplant
Quote:
The world's first successful penis transplant has been reported by a surgical team in South Africa
Doctors in Cape Town said the operation was a success and the patient was happy and healthy.
The
21-year-old recipient
, whose identity is being protected,
lost his penis in a botched circumcision
.
There have been attempts before, including one in China. The operation went fine, but the penis was later rejected.
The man was 18 and already sexually active when he had the circumcision
.
The boy was left with just 1cm of his original penis
.
Doctors say
South Africa has some of the greatest need for penis transplants anywhere in the world
.
Dozens, although some say hundreds, of boys are maimed or die each year during traditional initiation ceremonies
.

That is so damn sad.
Not to project but that's why I would never have my child circumcised unless for medical reasons.

Maybe the circumcision shouldn't have been done to begin with...
And South Africa maybe needs to get with the 21st century.

Dr Van der Merwe told the BBC:
"
If you don't have a penis you are essentially dead. If you give a penis back, you can bring them back to life
."
This got me.
