Total penis transplant is successfully passed on to an injured soldier in Afghanistan

The U.S. has successfully completed its first total penis transplant.

University surgeons Johns Hopkins, in Baltimore, Maryland performed the operation on a soldier who was injured by a bomb in Afghanistan.

Penis for transplant was taken by a dead donor.

Doctors say the soldier will be able to gain sexual functions that were impossible to rebuild the penis.

The medical team consisted of 11 surgeons who performed a transplant operation that lasted 14 hours on March 26.

This is the first transplant operation in a veteran soldier who's been injured in office, and it's a complete penis transplant operation.

The soldier who underwent the transplant through a statement to the media said: “When I woke up after surgery for the first time I felt that I am now in order”, the BBC writes.
