A soldier has been given a penis transplant after suffering horrific injuries in a bomb blast in Afghanistan.
The unnamed serviceman was given the world's first complete penis and scrotum transplant following a 14 hour operation at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore on Monday.
A team of nine plastic surgeons and two urological surgeons operated on the veteran, whose nationality was not disclosed, on March 26, the hospital said in a statement.
The team transplanted an entire penis, a scrotum without testicles and a partial abdominal wall from a deceased donor.
The wounded man, who requested anonymity, has recovered from the surgery and is expected to be discharged from the hospital this
week.
