Abstract
Penile transplantation is a technically demanding procedure with significant ethical and psychosocial implications that can provide tissue and functional replacement, including urinary diversion and natural erections. It is unclear how rejection and immunosuppression may affect graft function. Better models and more preclinical research are needed to better understand and optimize penile transplantation.
