Penis transplant has become a life-saver for a cancer survivor in 2016 and is already being added to the options given to men with similar cases. However, this doesn’t necessarily mean that the surgery has already been perfected.
According to the New York Times, the patient who was the first in the U.S. to undergo the procedure had to endure a 15-hour transplant operation in May 2016 to be able to function in the same way before he lost his penis.
At the time, 64-year-old Thomas Manning told the Times why he decided to undergo the procedure which went well, thanks to the expertise of surgeons at the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.
“I want to go back to being who I was.”
Now, another hospital has performed the life-changing surgery to Mannings to a man who had to endure not having a penis for 17 years. Unfortunately, they would have to do additional medical procedures before officially declaring the penis transplant as a complete success.
