First successful penis transplant completed
Quote:

In December 2014, the first successful penis transplant was performed on a 21-year-old man by specialists at the University of Stellenbosch in South Africa. The nine-hour procedure used microsurgery to connect blood vessels and nerves.[6] The patient had lost his penis as a result of a botched circumcision procedure he underwent aged 18. As of 13 March 2015, the recipient was reported to have recovered function in the organ, including urination, erection, orgasm and ***********, but sensation is expected to take two years to return fully.[7][8] The doctors who performed the transplant were surprised by this, as they had not expected the patient to recover fully until about December 2016.[6] Given that circumcisions are performed frequently in parts of South Africa to mark a boy's transition to adulthood, and these are often unsanitary procedures, frequently carried out by uncertified amateurs, doctors have said that South Africa has some of the greatest need for penis transplantations in the world
