World’s first successful penile transplant.

Ok guys, don't all rush at once. The operation takes 9 hours - is that based on...oh forget it.

"Our goal was that he would be fully functional at two years and we are very surprised by his rapid recovery," says Van der Merwe.

I'm sure his wife cannot wait

"It's a massive breakthrough. We've proved that it can be done – we can give someone an organ that is just as good as the one that he had," says Graewe. "It was a privilege to be part of this first successful penis transplant in the world."

Patient: As good as the one I had?????? What happened to my request for an Errol Flyn????

I remember way back in the 1990's a story of a bloke who cut his penis off and threw it on a bonfire to please his wife!

I'm surprised he did not bleed to death!

"There! Are you happy NOW?"
