Russian surgeons have implanted a new penis to a lieutenant hurt by grenade.

The patient, referred to as Alexei, had lost his penis and his right testicle. Doctors used tissue from the man's arm, as well as silicone prosthetic devices, to restore his genitals.

"Every week we implant prosthetic devices to patients suffering genital traumas or anomalies. What's unique about this operation is that the entire penis was restored," surgeon Alexei Sokolshikov, cited by Pravda.ru, said. He explained that the patients would be able to have children in about two months.
