SURGERIES
Surgeries include phalloplasty (performed with microsurgeons), metoidioplasty, urethroplasty (urethral lengthening), insertion of testicular and penile implants, fistula and stricture repair, glansplasty, phallus/urethral/scrotal/perineal reconstruction, monsplasty, and other associated procedures.
We know that not everyone desires or needs all aspects of transmasculine gender affirming genitourinary surgery, which frequently includes phalloplasty/metoidioplasty with UL, vaginectomy, scrotoplasty, and perineal reconstruction. As a result, we offer the following variations:
Phalloplasty/metoidioplasty [+/--] UL [+/--] vaginectomy [+/--] scrotoplasty and perineal reconstruction.
Examples:
-
Phalloplasty/metoidioplasty [+] UL [+] vaginectomy [--] scrotoplasty
-
Phalloplasty/metoidioplasty [+] UL [--] vaginectomy [+] scrotoplasty
-
Phalloplasty/metoidioplasty [+] UL [+] vaginectomy [--] scrotoplasty
-
Phalloplasty/metoidioplasty [--] UL [+] vaginectomy [+] scrotoplasty
-
Phalloplasty/metoidioplasty [--] UL [+] vaginectomy [--] scrotoplasty
-
Phalloplasty/metoidioplasty [--] UL [--] vaginectomy [+] scrotoplasty
Other variations may be desired and needed. A consultation with the surgeon will help patients decide what surgery works best for them and better meets their individualized surgical goals.
BEFORE SURGERY SMOKING:
No smoking, nicotine use, or inhalational products (including vaping, marijuana, and 2nd hand smoke) around 3 months before and after surgery (ideally 6 months before and after surgery). This includes chewing tobacco and nicotine free inhalational products. Use of these products can cause about a 5-fold increase in complications. Use within 3-6 months before surgery may prompt rescheduling of the surgery to a later time to minimize surgical risk.
