Ex Vivo Model of Human Penile Transplantation and Rejection: Implications for Erectile Tissue Physiology

This report describes a novel ex vivo model of human penile transplantation rejection. Tissue rejection impaired erectile tissue physiology. This report suggests that cyclosporin A might hinder corporal physiology and that other immunosuppressant agents, such as FK506, might be better suited to penile transplantation.
