A cancer patient has received the first penis transplant in the United States, a Boston hospital said Monday.

Massachusetts General Hospital has confirmed that Thomas Manning of Halifax, Massachusetts, received the transplanted penis in a 15-hour procedure last week. The organ was transplanted from a deceased donor.

The New York Times first reported the transplant Monday.

Dr. Curtis Cetrulo, who helped lead the surgical team, tells the newspaper that normal urination should be possible for the 64-year-old Manning in a few weeks, with sexual function possible in weeks to months.

The Times reports most of Manning’s penis was removed during his battle with penile cancer.

but your question does raise a good point...

I would have to say, he would need to make up for it in some other ways but I might miss it, there I said it

Why is that a bad thing to say?

I don't think there's any way to truly make up for that kind of absence.

I'm talking about starting from scratch, mind you.... not making the

best of an existing situation.

Because that would be entirely different.

I'm just kidding, it's not a bad thing 🙂

I agree, there is nothing to make up for that... Even making the best of an existing situation, how long?
