LONDON - Surgeons in China who said they performed the first successful
penis transplant had to remove the donated organ because of the severe
psychological problems experienced by the man and his wife.
The case appears to be the first such transplant reported in a medical
journal - European Urology, published by the European Association of
Urology.
The Chinese doctors could not be reached for comment, and their report does
not explain how the 44-year-old man lost his penis. It says only that "an
unfortunate traumatic accident" left him with a small stump, unable to
urinate or have sex normally.
