Curtis Crane spent 20 years training in the U.S and abroad, acquiring penis-making skills that have won him a global following.
Crane says he’s one of only a few surgeons in the U.S. performing a high volume of phalloplasties -- a booming surgical niche fueled by an increasing number of transgender men seeking to complete their anatomical transition. Even after hiring and training two colleagues to perform the eight-hour surgery, Crane’s patients must wait a year to have it done.
