“…There are many risks to this operation, including the long-term need for immunosuppressive medication; in addition, psychological counseling is imperative beforehand. 14,37,54 These challenges, along with the uncertainty of growth potential, contraindicate this operation in children with unilateral hand conditions. Tissue engineering has the potential to address the challenge of limited tissue availability for reconstructing the congenitally malformed hand.…”

Background: Symbrachydactyly is a unilateral congenital hand malformation characterized by failure of formation of fingers and the presence of rudimentary digit nubbins. The management is variable and are investigated in this review. Methods: a detailed review of the literature was compiled into succinct clinically relevant categories. Results: Etiology, classification, non-surgical management, surgical intervention, and patient oriented outcomes are discussed. Conclusions: all interventions should prioritize realistic, evidence-supported appearance and functional gains. Studies of the baseline function and quality of life of children with symbrachydactyly would allow surgeons to better understand functional changes associated with various interventions and would help surgeons and parents to make the best treatment decisions.

“…Į medicinos praktiką besiskverbiančios technologinės inovacijos, tokios kaip nepažįstamų gyvų donorų organų panaudojimas, išorinių kūno dalių transplantacija (pvz., rankos) ir gyvūnų organų transplantacija, artimiausioje ateityje sukels dar didesnius iššūkius transplantologijoje [55]. PTSS gali potencialiai padidinti sergamumą, mirštamumą ir padidėjusį sveikatos apsaugos resursų panaudojimą.…”

“…Individuals who are already emotionally or psychologically impaired may not be able to tolerate these potential outcomes and should not be considered appropriate candidates for penis transplantation. That is to say, each potential subject should be individually assessed by a clinical psychiatrist regarding their psychiatric history and coping skills [24,25]. At this juncture, a social worker should explore the patient's social support system, access to health care and general psychosocial stability.…”

Ethical issues in penile transplantation

This article provides an overview of the ethical issues associated with penile transplantation, a form of composite tissue allografting. There is only one reported case of human penile transplantation, and, as such, this technique is considered to be experimental. The ethical issues at stake involve both the graft donor and the graft recipient. With regard to the recipient, there are significant concerns relating to surgical risks and benefits, informed consent, body image (including surgical expectations and outcomes) and compliance. Donor issues may include family consent and privacy, as well as graft harvesting (leaving the donor cadaver without a penis). Many of these ethical issues can be explored during the recipient's assessment and consent process. Because no medium-term or long-term outcome data for this procedure exist-only one such operation has ever been performed-the burdens and ethical issues concerning penile transplantation remain unknown.
