“I think one would agree it is as devastating as anything that our wounded warriors suffer, for a young man to come home in his early 20s with the pelvic area completely destroyed,” Lee added.
Surgeons at the famed medical facility will have to connect the major blood vessels and nerves of the donated organ to the soldier under a microscope.
Normal functions, such as urinating and sex, are expected to happen after the soldier’s nerves grow into the transplanted penis, which may take months.
The penis will be donated from a deceased man per his family’s permission.
