It isn't brain surgery, but still ... Massachusetts General Hospital surgeons, who completed the nation's first genitourinary reconstructive transplant last week, aren't feeling cocky but are "cautiously optimistic" about the outcome. Patient Thomas Manning, 64, who lost his penis to cancer in 2012, reported little pain and hoped his success would encourage other men stigmatized by similar amputations. The organ, from a deceased donor, could take months to become as functional as the world's first successfully transplanted penis, which helped father a child after being attached in South Africa in 2014.
