According to an artice here.
I am not British so I can’t vouch for the authenticity.
Is this true or is the Sun a British version of the National Enquirer?
I can just hear the patient now…
No no no Doc… please us that BIG tube!!!
So his new wiener is gonna have arm hair follicles on it?
Great. Now he drinks a few beers and his crotch wants to arm wrestle.
“So this guy walks into a bar with a woman on his arm…”
“OK, sir, just sit still, you’ll feel a little prick…”
Yes, very much so. The story probably bogas.
It sounded plausible, to make a cosmetic-level replacement, but I find difficult to believe that they think he might have a full sex life some day. The mechanism of erection and stimulous to orgasm just seems too complex to me to believe they can engineer it.
I believe the real question is did they circumcise him?
They just cut off his forearm skin.
It gives me a whole new outlook on fisting
armed and dangerous
You’d figure a new penis would cost an arm and a leg, so this guy made out.
As for erections, there is a sack of vessels near the base of the real penis, that, if intact, could help the new penis with extra flow needed for an erection.
It just might be possible to get this guy some functionality.
No matter how you slice it, he won’t be normal, per se, and anything less than normal can’t be good.
Wear your heart on your sleeve
Just like scientists, messing about where nature never intended…
…now if they could attach an ARM to a PENIS…THEN we’d HAVE something! 
That’s just what I need, a penis with an opposable thumb. Hmmm, now that I think about it…
You people are sick.

The original source for that story is Pravda.
(Here is the actual story, with a photograph and everything.)
Far be it from me to impune the good journalistic name of Pravda, but they really have switched to straight tabloid fare since they’ve stopped pushing the communist agenda. There’s a story today headlined “VITAMIN C KILLS SMOKERS!” Anyone gonna take the time to ask Cecil 'bout that one?
Why, yes, that is an arm in my pocket. And I am glad to see you.
I dunno what you people are getting so excited about–this is a standard operating procedure for sex-change operations. This is how they create the “new” penis, except that they usually use the skin of the abdomen or thigh.

Do a Google search for “phalloplasty reassignment”. If you just search under “phalloplasty”, all you get is the cosmetic surgery penis enlargement websites.
Not that those aren’t fun, too. :rolleyes: Men.
And as a special bonus, we are offering a free official Straight Dope barf bag to the first person who Googles the “The first sex reassignment surgery (SRS) performed officially in Japan” website. :eek: :eek: :eek: Please do not post the link here. Thank you. [she said fervently]
And I am SO glad I looked this all up for you, Spyderman. :rolleyes:
Now I am going to bed and work on removing the Japanese pix from my mental hard drive…
