"This is a very serious situation. For a young man of 18 or 19 years the loss of his penis can be deeply traumatic," said Andre van der Merwe, head of the university's urology unit and who led the operation said in a statement.
"This is a very serious situation. For a man of any age the loss of his penis can be deeply traumatic,"

The young patient had recovered full use of his manhood, doctors said, adding that the procedure could eventually be extended to men who have lost their penises to cancer or as a last resort for severe erectile dysfunction.
I think "extended" will play in other roles as the surgery is perfected.

The short story is here.

      Looks like South Africa beat the Russians in this pioneering operation.

      The head of the Russian team, Dr Ivan Knockabollockoff was clearly upset that they missed out, and somewhat bemused.

    Word is they removed the donor organ from Claude's forehead. Now his main nickname is more figurative than literal.

      I don't get it. An organ doesn't grow on foreheads, it grows in the loin region. Your knowledge of anatomy is severely lacking. I knew there was something wrong with you, when you said to me, "Claude...pull my finger"...and it wasn't your finger. Although it was about the same size.

      And, for your information, my nickname is "Richard, the Flaccid Unicorn". I have no idea where it comes from.

                  Do you find yourself;
                  Bragging about distant past successes, to people who don't speak English?
                  Responding to, "Hi. How are you?' with "I'm more amazing than you. And I am a published author"?
                  Eating an entire cake, because you just ate a gallon of ice cream, and it seemed like they went well together?
                  Buying Superhero action figures, and then yelling at them, when they don't do what you tell them?
                  Getting jealous of Youtube kitten videos, because nobody thinks you are as cute as the kittens?
                  Hating men you just met...just because you found out their name is Kurt?
                  Drinking 20 to 30 diet shakes every day, and find you aren't losing weight?
                  Worrying that your forehead has ED, because you can no longer raise your eyebrow like Mister Spock??
                  Having to shop at the Big And Tall Men's stores...for a toupee.

                  Then you might be suffering from Claudemydia.

                    Top 10 Symptoms of Claudemydia

                    If you accidently put your jock strap on backwards and discover it fits better that way, you have claudemydia.

                    If Dolly Parton is jealous of your man boobs, you have claudemydia..

                    If you buy a 1971 Pinto because you think it's a cool classic car, you have claudemydia.

                    If you flirt with your blow up doll, you have claudemydia.

                    If you think night time is just a day without sunshine, you have claudemydia.

                    If you have the last laugh just because you're slow in the head, you have claudemydia.

                    If your butt is jealous of the "$h!t" that come out of your mouth, you have claudemydia.

                    If you are so bald other people can see what's on your mind, you have claudemydia.

                    If you use the skid marks in your underwear as Rorschach tests for self-diagnosis, you have claudemydia.

                    If, of all the possible diseases, you choose one that sounds almost like your own name to try to use as an insult, you have claudemydia..

                      I don't need to flirt with my blow up doll. She claims I gave her Claudemydia. She went to the doctor, and they only found a small prick. And I told the doctor he was examining the wrong person.

                      He said that her complaint was over inflated, and so was she.

      That's why it's called "foreskin", because it came from Claude's forehead. No big thang...
