Figure 1 | A hierarchy of steps need to be accomplished for success of a penile transplantation programme. First, surgical ethics must be taken into consideration and social acceptance is required to ensure that potential donors and their families are willing to take part in the programme. Potential candidates for transplantation need to be recruited and then once all these features are in place the transplant procedure itself can be optimized. Both short-term and long-term adverse effects of a penile transplant for the patient must be considered and minimized before the programme can be considered a success.
