Doctors at Kenyatta National Hospital have reconstructed the penis of a Form Three boy that had been chopped off in December last year.
The procedure that took seven hours involved a team of 15 multidisciplinary specialists.
The boy was assaulted by an unknown person last month who chopped off his reproductive organ at the base near the scrotum using a kitchen knife. The incident occurred at night.
The patient, a firstborn in his family, was referred to KNH from a county hospital.
Speaking to the press on Wednesday, the lead doctor said the chopped organ had been stored in a hospital where the boy was first rushed.
The patient, whose identity was concealed by the medics, was reviewed by plastic and urology teams who then booked him for the procedure.
The boy arrived at KNH looking weak and in trauma, having bled heavily. He was, however, in a stable state, the doctors said.
