Penis Transplant Removed After Two Weeks

Sep 19, 2006 (AP)— Chinese doctors say they successfully transplanted a penis on a man who lost his own in an accident, but had to remove it two weeks later because of psychological problems experienced by the man and his wife.

It says only that "an unfortunate traumatic accident" left him with a small stump, unable to urinate or have sex normally.

The penis came from a 22-year-old brain-dead man whose parents agreed to donate his organ.

Fourteen days after the penis transplant, the recipient and his wife requested that the organ be removed "because of the wife's psychological rejection as well as the swollen shape of the transplanted penis," the surgeons report in the journal.

Lab examination showed no sign of rejection, the doctors report.

-- If I were a guy I don't think I'd give up my new penis to pee with because the wife didn't like its swollen shape.
