Penis transplantation

(CNN) - The world's first successful total penis and scrotum transplant was completed at Johns Hopkins Hospital on March 26, according to a news release issued Monday.

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.

A South African university on Friday reported the first “successful” penis transplant, saying the nine-hour operation was performed last December by specialists at the University of Stellenbosch.

According to a report posted by NBC news, the man “… had his penis amputated three years ago following complications from a circumcision performed in his late teens.
