Doctors at Massachusetts General Hospital performed the transplant
The 64-year-old recipient is a cancer survivor

The procedure is called a "surgical milestone"

(CNN)Doctors at Massachusetts General Hospital performed the first U.S. penis transplant, they said Monday, calling it a "landmark procedure."

Thomas Manning, 64, is recovering well after the 15-hour procedure performed by a team of over 50 surgeons, doctors and nurses, this month, according to the hospital. Manning, of Halifax, Massachusetts, had his penis amputated after he was diagnosed with penile cancer in 2012.

The procedure, also described by the doctors as a "surgical milestone," is called a gentitourinary vascularized composite allograft, or GUVCA.

It involves "surgically grafting the complex microscopic vascular and neural structures of a donor organ onto the comparable structures of the recipient."

Put another way, "surgeons connected the intricate vascular and nerve structures of a donor penis with those of the 64-year-old transplant recipient," the hospital said.

Dr. Dicken Ko, director of the hospital's Regional Urology Program, said the objectives of the surgery were primarily to reconstruct the genitalia so that it appeared natural, followed by urinary function and hopefully sexual function. However, Ko added that while sexual function is a goal, reproduction is not, because of a concern surrounding the ethical issues of who the potential father may be.

Does this doctor not know how human sexual reproduction works? Last I checked whoever provides the sperm is the father. Sperm comes from the testes and this guy didnt get a testes transplant. He would still be ejaculating his own sperm. A donor penis doesnt change that.

What this doctor is saying is like saying a woman that has a vaginal transplant or vaginal reconstructive surgery cant reproduce because we wouldnt know whether she or the person that donated the vaginal tissue is the mother. Which is utter nonsense.

Whoever provides the egg is the mother and whoever provides the sperm is the father. Regardless of which penis the sperm goes through or which vagina the child is born through.

Imagine the episode of Maury.
"I can't be the father, it's not my penis!"

Jokes aside, it's a good day for modern medicine. In the event I get penile cancer or I accidentally chop it off, there is potentially another substitute. Any donors out there? I'll hold on to spare parts for the time being. I'm going to sleep clutching mine a little more delicately tonight.

Once Ron Jeremy dies, his parts will go for a fortune.

Kudos Hypesters! This thread only has 11 posts in it. There may be hope for us yet.

His parts will go in a radioactive containment case and be dropped in the deepest darkest abyss we currently know of. And god help any future civilization that unearths that unholy relic.

Sounds like they did transplant the testicles with the penis also but a simple vasectomy will solve that problem of him having children that weren't his.

Well you know how it is. You need to do some manscaping before your date and all you've got in the house is a chainsaw and some garden shears.

I'm tattooing my name on mine. If they change the donor rules to include weenies...that way when they use it, their lover will ask why that name is on there.

I hope you're not Spanish and have a name like Armand-Feliciano Rafael Perez de Bartolome-Delgado because that's going to hurt like hell.

I guess those doctors didn't dick around.
