64 Yr Old Cancer Patient Receives First USA Penis Transplant!!! WTF!!!

Dr. Dicken Ko and Dr. Curtis Cetrulo of Massachusetts General Hospital lead the 50 doctor team for the 15 hr surgery.

A 64 year old cancer patient has received the first ever penis transplant in the United States. In 2005 there was a failed one done in China (It failed becuse 2 wks after the surgery, the recipient and his wife asked that it be removed because of psychological problems they were having. I bet she didn't want to have sex with some other guy's penis! hahaha ) and then in 2014 a 21 yr old South African man was the 2nd guy in the world to receive a working penis transplant and his worked so well that he later went on to conceive a child. But getting back to the American guy, he's a 64 yr old guy named Thomas Manning who had cancer of the penis  and the cancer was so bad that it caused his penis to be amputated. The surgery cost $50,000.00 to $75,000.00 and that's just for the surgery, the 50 doctors who performed the surgery donated their services, and the surgery took  about 15 hrs to complete. The surgery is very tedious because they had to connect all of the nerves, all of the blood vessels, and the urethra to the bladder and etc. Thank God so far it's looking really good, the organ has good blood flow now and Thomas will be released from the hospital in a few days or so.

His doctors said they are cautiously optimistic that Manning eventually will be able to urinate normally and function sexually again for the first time since aggressive penile cancer led to the amputation of the former bank courier's genitals in 2012. They said his psychological state will play a big role in his recovery.

"Emotionally he's doing amazing. I'm really impressed with how he's handling things. He's just a positive person," Dr. Curtis Cetrulo, who was among the lead surgeons on a team of more than 50, said at a news conference. "He wants to be whole again. He does not want to be in the shadows."

Manning, who is single and has no children, did not appear at the news conference but said in a statement: "Today I begin a new chapter filled with personal hope and hope for others who have suffered genital injuries. In sharing this success with all of you, it is my hope we can usher in a bright future for this type of transplantation."

I bet you are wondering where they got the penis from to be transplanted? Eh? Well, it was donated from a deceased man who was an organ donor. The identity of the deceased donor was not released. Sharing is caring. I know Thomas sure in the hell is happy that someone shared!!!! Good luck Thomas, I sure hope everything works out for you.

Thomas hasn't seen his new penis yet, because it's all bandaged up, so he's only seen pictures of it so far.

In Boston, Cetrulo said the transplanted penis has good blood flow and so far shows no signs of rejection. He said that Manning should be released from the hospital soon, and that the surgery had three aims: ensuring the transplanted penis looks natural, is capable of normal urination — which he hopes will resume in a few weeks — and eventually normal sexual function.

Reproduction won't be possible, he said, since Manning did not receive new testes.

Dr. Dicken Ko, who directs the hospital's urology program, said Manning has been shown post-operation photos but hasn't actually seen his new penis, since it is still bandaged. A big test, Ko said, will be when reconnected nerves start to take hold, bringing feeling back to the organ."We don't know how he would feel until that times comes," he said.
