The Buzz | Man who got 1st US penis transplant released from hospital
A man who received the first penis transplant calls the operation a success and is going home.
Thomas Manning left Massachusetts General Hospital yesterday [Macau time], three weeks after the grueling 15-hour surgery. The 64-year-old traveled with his mother and a family friend back to his home in Halifax, where he looked forward to a spaghetti dinner and a night in his own bed.
After two follow-up surgeries, Manning said, he can urinate normally and he’s back to walking around. Sexual function is still months away, though, and reproduction won’t be possible because he did not receive new testes.
