The first penis transplant performed in China has failed. The 44 year old man had been left with a 1 cm long penis following an accident. The operation at Guangzhou General Hospital to attach a 10 cm long penis took 15 hours. After ten days it was reported that the man's transplanted penis had a good blood supply and he was able to urinate normally. Penis Size
Penectomy- Partial and Total Removal of the Penis
Although the penis transplant was successful, the man and his wife failed to come to terms with his new penis. After two weeks the surgeons had to remove it.
Re-attachment of a penis has been successful before but the subjects were always reunited with their own penises following trauma rather than by having a penis donated to them. The psychological trauma of transplants are a significant issue. A New Zealander asked French surgeons to remove a donated hand as he found he was unable to mentally engage with it.
It is unlikely the transplanted penis would have had the ability to achieve an erection.
