Most limb and male genitalia transplants are considered unsuccessful. Either they reject, or the patient does not become psychologically used to having the graft. (Typically limb grafts have limited sensation due to nerve damage during surgery (it's inevitable). This also means that the graft may have limited movement.) Both of these reasons add up to the general experience of limb transplantation patients - they all seem to describe a feeling of the limb "not belonging to them".

Generally, transplants that are "visible" have a profound psychological impact upon the patient.
