Ushering in the era of penile transplantation

Abstract: Penile transplantation is a novel approach to management of penile loss in the developing field of composite tissue allotransplantation (CTA). Prior management for significant penile loss has been free flap phalloplasty with issues related to function, cosmesis, and functional loss from the location of flap harvest. Transplantation has been an evolving field with advancement in CTA over the past several decades leading to the option of penile transplant. Management of penile injury with replantation provided s… Show more

“…Technical feasibility hinges on the success of surgical reconstruction and immunosuppression. Surgical reconstruction requires appropriate anastomosis of the urethra, corpus spongiosum, corpus cavernosum, dorsal artery, superficial and deep dorsal veins, dorsal nerve, fascia, and skin 2 . It is unclear if the anastomosis of cavernosal arteries are of benefit 17 .…”

“…Transplants have been traditionally life-saving, but more recently, the field of organ transplantation has extended to also include organs for the functional benefit. Composite tissue allotransplantation (CTA) is comprised of heterogeneous cadaveric tissues and has advanced the field to include transplantation of organs to restoration, function, structure, and aesthetics 2 . Examples of CTA include face, abdominal wall, larynx, tongue, knees, and penis 1, 3, 4.…”

[3] ‹lk baarılı nakli gerçekletiren Van der Merwe ''Penis nakli için en büyük engelin, penisin sembolik öneminden dolayı ailenin cenazeyi penissiz gömmek istememesi'' oldu¤unu belirtmitir. Bu da donör bulmanın yıllarca sürmesine neden olmaktadır.…”
