Tygerberg Hospital

A black man who has had the world’s third successful penis transplant operation is to have his new organ tattooed – because the donor was white.
The 40-year-old is only the third patient to undergo the procedure on April 21 of this year at Tygerberg Hospital, Cape Town.
He lost his organ after a botched traditional circumcision.

The South African recipient of the world’s first penile transplant, now 21 years of age, is to become a father. His girlfriend is four months’ pregnant proving the success of the operation that restored his penis in December following a botched circumcision.
