This handout photo courtesy of Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston shows patient Thomas Manning, the 64-year-old man who lost most of his penis to cancer, who is recovering well after undergoing the United States' first penis transplant operation, doctors said May 16 ECCO Hombre Intrinsic Sandalias Wild Dove Rebajas , 2016. The 15-hour surgery took place earlier this month at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, and is the third such operation known in the world. "The patient, Thomas Manning, 64, of Halifax ECCO Hombre Yucatan Sandalias Negras Mole Rebajas , Massachusetts, continues to recover well, with blood flow established to the donor organ and no signs of bleeding, rejection or infection," the hospital said in a statement. "While the patient is still early in the post-surgical healing process ECCO Hombre Yucatan Sandalias Tarmac Moon Rock Rebajas , his physicians say they are cautiously optimistic he will regain function that he lost in 2012." The penis came from a dead donor who matched Manning's blood type and skin tone.
A cancer patient received the first penis transplant in the United States and is recovering well from the delicate surgery, doctors said yesterday.
Thomas Manning of Halifax, Massachusetts, received the transplanted penis in a 15-hour procedure last week, Massachusetts General Hospital announced yesterday. The organ was transplanted from a deceased donor.
Surgeons on the team who performed the transplant say blood is flowing to the organ. They said there are no signs of bleeding ECCO Track Ii High Botas Bison Rebajas , rejection or infection, and that they’re cautiously optimistic Manning will regain the function he lost in 2012 when cancer led to an amputation of the penis.
“Today I begin a new chapter filled with personal hope and hope for others who have suffered genital injuries,” Manning said in a statement.
Most of Manning’s penis was removed amid a battle with an aggressive and potentially fatal penile cancer. The cancer was discovered in 2012 after the bank courier was severely injured in a work accident. Doctors treating him found an abnormal growth on his penis.
Manning told the newspaper he experienced hardly any pain during and after the procedure. One serious complication came the day after the surgery when he was rushed to the operating room after beginning to hemorrhage. He said his recovery has been smoother since, but he still wasn’t ready to take a close look at the transplant.
Manning, who is single and was not involved with anyone when the cancer was discovered ECCO Turn Gtx Botas Coffee Rebajas , said the amputation made new relationships impossible.
Manning told the newspaper that he looks forward to going back to work and hopes to have a love life again. He said he’s speaking out in order to help dispel a stigma associated with cancers and injuries affecting the genitals.
The donor penis came from the New England Organ Bank. It told the newspaper that the donor’s family wished to remain anonymous, but had delivered well wishes to Manning.
It took three years of preparation, including operations on cadavers, before the team was ready to perform transplants.
Such operations are being studied as a way of treating wounded servicemen.
Cetrulo said his team will likely perfect its technique on civilians before providing transplants for injured veterans. He said the Defense Department doesn’t “like to have wounded warriors undergo unproven techniques.”
Dr Dicken Ko, who directs the hospital’s urology program ECCO Kenton Plain Toe Botas Mink Mocha Rebajas , said candidates for future transplants will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. They will be limited to cancer and trauma patients for now, and will not be offered to transgender people.
Another transplant is planned as soon as a matching donor becomes available for a patient whose penis was destroyed by burns in a car accident, Cetrulo said.
The world’s first penis transplant was performed at the University of Stellenbosch in South Africa in December 2014.
That patient had his penis amputated three years earlier after complications from a circumcision.
The university near Cape Town said in announcing the transplant in March 2015 that the 21-year-old patient, whose name was not released, regained all function in the transplanted organ.
A man in China received a penis transplant in 2005. That operation also appeared to be successful Ecco Leather rebajas , but doctors said the man asked them to remove it two weeks later because of psychological problems.
