Coincidentally I am reading about this right now in Mary Roach's new book, Grunt. The chapter I read today mentions hand transplant surgery, but the main focus of the chapter is an in depth discussion of penile reconstruction as well as penis transplant surgery (and discusses the mental effects) for injured military men. It's a whole new field of research because in the past, severe injury to the genital area often resulted in death (and hard to get funding for since people don't recognize the importance of how it can make someone feel "whole" again, even without their limbs).

Tough call! I'd say Grunt by Mary Roach. My wife will probably say A Fine Balance by Rohinton Mistry.

If you read the book grunt the author destroys the shark myth but polar bears are the only bear to sense menstrual blood from same distance.
