World’s first ’successful’ penis transplant necessitates a reversal.

Eight months after, what must have been, an incredibly horrific accident, a 44-year-old man underwent fifteen hours of microsurgery in a Chinese hospital to have a new penis put on. The replacement penis had been graciously donated by the family of a 22-year-old brain dead man.

I don’t believe the procedure was called a ’strapadictomy’ but it should’ve been.

Without going into too much detail - my legs cannot cross any more - the accident had left the man unable to function either sexually or urinally. Urinarally? Urilly? He couldn’t go wee-wee. However, after the op he was able to pee again. It seems that it was the other department that was letting him down. Literally.

Ten days after the operation and the man returned to have it “cut off”. Not because his body had rejected the organ but more to do with his wife’s “psychological rejection”.

Apparently this is a huge advancement in the medical world and represents a substantive option for those unfortunates who may find themselves emasculated.

The pioneering surgeon’s name was Dr Weilie Hu. Phonetic spellings on a postcard, please.
