Abstract
With the continuous development of allograft surgery, penis transplantation has been applied worldwide. Thus far, four successful cases have been reported worldwide, with the prognosis being good. Herein, we described the four cases with detailed analyses in terms of patient selection, preoperative preparation, surgical method, postoperative treatment plan, complications, and ethics. We also described the current situation, developments in the field, and other related information. Furthermore, compared with other life-saving organ transplantation, penis transplantation may meet more troubles, such as the shortage of penis donation, lifelong immunosuppression therapy, even the issues that the recipients and their couples may not overcome the psychological barrier easily. All these issues deserve our attention.
