Russian doctors have conducted an 11-hour operation to replace a patient?s deformed penis with one grown on his forearm, the Moskovskiy Komsomolets daily reports.
The 30-year-old Russian man, whose name was changed in the article to protect his privacy, had a defect from birth ? his penis was crooked, two-and-a-half-inches long and lacked a scrotum, the newspaper writes.
The doctors had the penis removed and attached to the man?s arm. Using his body tissue it grew to six-and-a-half inches and was sewn back on to his groin. Silicone tubes were inserted into the organ to ensure an erection was possible. Doctors also created a scrotum from the patient?s own skin and placed silicone testicles in it.
A Moscow surgeon said the man will be able to have sex in a few months. He added: ?Women will never suspect it is artificial.?
