After 14 surgical hours, an American Armed Forces veteran was able to regain genitalia. It was the most complete penile transplant in the world and was held at Johns Hopkins Hospital in late March, today the hospital. Anonymous patient walks and can leave the hospital this week.
This was the fourth successful penile transplant in the world so far, she told a press conference Richard Redett, clinical director of Johns Hopkins's gene transplant program.
But it is the first time doctors have succeeded in transplanting such a large area of the body, which included an area of the lower abdomen, the entire penis and testicles, from a donor who had died. Doctors say they will soon know if the patient can urinate, but the recovery of sensation will last longer, perhaps about six months.

Τα θύματα τέτοιων επιθέσεων είναι συνήθως νέοι - μόλις 24 ετών κατά μέσο όρο, σύμφωνα με έκθεση που δημοσίευσε το Ίδρυμα Bob Woodruff, και υπάρχουν πολλοί από αυτούς: τουλάχιστον 1.378 άνδρες στις ένοπλες δυνάμεις επέστρεψαν σπίτι με τραυματισμούς στα γεννητικά όργανα από το 2001 έως και το 2013, αναφέρει με την έκθεση.
The March surgery on palbloodho of them USA started in 2013. This is partly due to the long technical preparation, which included dissections and trial surgeries on cadavers. Matching the donor and recipient was also a bit more complicated than for an organ like a kidney, according to the press release: In addition to matching the blood type of donors and recipients, doctors also matched their ages and skin tone. And because the recipient had rare blood, there were fewer potential donors.
The team decided earlier not to transplant the testicles. Damon Cooney, a professor of plastic surgery at Johns Hopkins University Medical School, said that with the testicles, the recipient of the transplant could have acquired a child who would have the donor DNA.
"Πιστεύαμε απλώς ότι υπάρχουν πάρα πολλά αναπάντητα ερωτήματα ηθικής για αυτό το είδος μεταμόσχευσης", δήλωσε ο Cooney.
For surgery, 11 surgeons were needed for 14 hours, and so far, the patient responds well.
