Penile transplantation is a novel approach to management of penile loss in the
developing field of composite tissue allotransplantation (CTA). Prior management
for significant penile loss has been free flap phalloplasty with issues related
to function, cosmesis, and functional loss from the location of flap harvest.
Transplantation has been an evolving field with advancement in CTA over the past
several decades leading to the option of penile transplant. Management of penile
injury with replantation provided some preliminary groundwork on the technical
aspects for penile transplantation. Additionally, penile transplantation raises
many ethical, emotional, and psychological considerations with need for patience
amidst ongoing advancement within the field.
