Abstract

Vascularized composite allotransplantation has enabled the performance of five reported penile transplantations across the world with additional transplantations planned. Penile transplantation raises ethical questions concerning aesthetics, morbidity, function, and cost-burden given the more readily available and less morbid alternative of phalloplasty.
