Last week, my native Boston was the site of the nation’s first genitourinary vascularized composite allograft transplant – commonly referred to as the first successful penis transplant.  This was done at Massachusetts General Hospital.  And, in one of those coincidences I find fascinating, the head of the team was also instrumental in the first hand transplant four years ago – and if you don’t think the hand and penis go together, then you aren’t paying attention.  Thus far, the organ has not been rejected – which is quite an accomplishment for any penis in Boston.  Although we’re not sure where the organ came from, I think it’s safe to assume that the donor was just some stiff.
