BOSTON (WHDH) - Massachusetts General Hospital says that a surgical team has performed the nation’s first penile transplant.
Earlier this month, surgeons connected the intricate vascular and nerve structures of a donor penis with those of the 64-year-old transplant recipient.
The procedure took 15 hours.
The patient is recovering well.
