Tbilisi - Surgeons in the Caucasus republic of Georgia have made medical history by replacing the amputated penis of a cancer patient with what they call a "fully-functioning" substitute organ made from skin grafts and a finger. 

 In the 17-hour operation, doctors at the Tbilisi Institute of Aesthetic and Reconstructive Plastic Surgery removed the man's left middle finger and used skin taken from his other arm to shape and bind it in place, clinic director Dr Ivan Kuzanov said on Thursday.
 The finger was first "turned inside out" to create a channel which allows conventional urination, and the bone was left "to provide rigidity when needed", he said.
 Twelve days after the operation in December, the man aged "50 to 60" was able to pass water and has since resumed a full sex life. "He is not married but has two girlfriends who are very satisfied with the results," Kuzanov said. The clinic has twice before used a finger for the same purpose but this was the first "fully-functioning" organ built. In future the operation will cost Georgians about $5 000 dollars - "a huge sum for them" - but foreign patients will likely pay far more. - Sapa-DPA

For the first time in the history, a cancerous patient had a surgery and a digital penis replaced his cancerous penis!!! The Georgian surgeons used the patient left middle finger and turn it inside out to make the urinary channel and then covered it by the skin from his other arm, and left the bone inside “to provide rigidity when needed”!!!!! The operation was done in 17 hours and the results are very satisfying. The patient age is 50 to 60; he is not married, but has two happy girlfriends. The surgeon’s creativity and technique was very interesting for me, besides the fact that some body is willing to lose one of his finger to have a functional penis is more interesting!
