Doctors in Kenya made history on February 17 after a successful penile implant surgery carried out on a 44-year-old man in the capital Nairobi.
Below are five key points worthy of note about the procedure
1 – It was conducted at Aga Khan University Hospital, a leading private hospital in Kenya’s capital, Nairobi.
2 – It is a historic operation for the East and Central African regions.
3 – According to the medics, the procedure costs about Ksh800,000 ($7,041) to Ksh1 million ($8,801).
4 – The surgeons principally implanted a prosthesis device in the penis to help the patient ejaculate as it should be.
5 – The operation required rare specialised expertise, a sub-specialty in urology and took about an hour to complete.
What the lead surgeon told local press:
