A Chinese man became the first penis transplant recipient recently, but after two weeks, doctors removed the organ after his wife suffered "psychological problems."Surgeons led by Dr. Hu Weilie at Guangzhou General Hospital performed the transplant in September, 2005. The penis was donated by the parents of a 22-year-old brain-dead man.
The microsurgery was a success, doctors said. The man was able to urinate with the penis, and sexual function was expected to be restored after further healing.
His wife, however, "psychologically" rejected it, and after fourteen days the penis was removed.
