Thomas Manning is now the first person in the United States to receive a donor penis. Manning who had cancer, had most of his penis removed as apart of cancer treatments. This left Manning with just an inch of penile tissue once his tumor was removed.
Manning was not able to have sexual relations. He says,
“I couldn’t have a relationship with anybody. You can’t tell a woman, ‘I had a penis amputation,'”
Manning is not the first person to ever receive a donor penis. He is just the first person in the U.S. to have it done. The first transplant was done at Guangzhou General Hospital of Guangzhou Military Command of China in 2006.
