Potentially, the technique could thus "make the hair transplant accessible to people with a small number of follicles in men as in women, or in subjects who suffered burns," said Dr. Angela Christianio, co -author of the study. In other words, scientists would increase the number of production lines of the working body to manufacture hair, on subjects with a lack of equipment in the field.
A long-term perspective
Further work is needed, however, before this technique can be tested in humans, say the study authors. Researchers must indeed still determine the origins of the intrinsic properties of new hair as their color, angle drives, their location on the head and texture. For beyond cause regrowth is it still the master.
We can give someone a body as good as it was before. "When body means" penis "and when these words used by a teacher who has completed an operation, he described as successful transplant penis, you tend to shout the triumph. "Symbolically, it seems very important," admits with MetroNews Professor Stéphane Droupy, member of the French Association of Urology. But medically, it's not as exciting nor relevant than it looks.

► Attention to the psychological rejection
First, it seems a little early to claim a success and a world first. "They went a little fast," remarks from Professor Francois Haab MetroNews also urologic surgeon. In 2006, a penis transplant had been performed in China. The operation was a surgical success but had resulted in a "secondary amputation", the patient who was not appropriate the transplanted organ. So pay attention to the "psychological rejection, not biological", especially since the transaction took place on 11 December and is recent.
His colleague, Professor Droupy has thus asked the question to ask the Agency for Biomedicine authorization of human penis transplant (today, the penis is not part of the organs that can give). The patient concerned had, as the South African patient surgery, suffered an infection caused by a poorly performed ritual circumcision. But he was "reluctant" to the idea of having the penis of another: "We made a plasty with what he had left."
► Medical Indications rare
So today, in the case of cut rod, the surgeons perform relocations or rebuilding from patient tissues. This means that "we have techniques that should make indications of rare heterologous graft" continues Professor Haab. Indeed, patients with cancer of the penis, which requires removing a portion of the penis or even amputated, could benefit from such an organ transplant. But only after ensuring there is no risk of reoffending because that says transplant immunosuppressive treatment said to prevent graft rejection.
In South Africa, accidents occurring during initiation ceremonies with traditional circumcision, raw ablation of the foreskin, are quite common. An estimated 486 young people died as a result of these rituals between 2008 and 2013 because of gangrene or infection. Others survive but, mutilated, might want to make a penis transplant. But even in this case, estimates that the Haab professor penis transplant "does not respond to a public health need," especially as it would be cheaper to "invest in training and prevention of these accidents ".The nature is such: we are not all equal in the face of aging. When women wear silky hair until late age, our men are more often prone to hair loss. But how to limit these more or less bald early, and maintain maximum mane of our Jules?
