Not sure why, but this story is all over the papers today. It ran originally about 3 weeks ago.

A Russian man born with genitals so small that he was unable to have sex has been given the chance to lead a normal love life after a new penis was “grown” on his arm during pioneering surgery.

In an 11-hour operation, plastic surgeons in Moscow removed the 28-year-old’s undersized penis and stitched it on to his left forearm, where they grafted on additional flesh and tissue taken from his inner arm. The newly enlarged organ, which had grown from less than 2 inches to nearly 7 inches, was reattached to his groin.

His surgeon, Professor Mikhail Sokolshchik, of the National Medical Surgical Centre, hopes that the patient will eventually be able to have sexual relations and father children.
