This study introduces a novel feminization genitoplasty technique, combining established methods for improved anatomical reconstruction. The modified approach yields excellent cosmetic and functional outcomes in pediatric patients.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Urology
  • Genitoplasty

Background:

  • Feminization genitoplasty aims to create female genitalia in individuals with disorders of sex development.
  • Existing techniques have limitations regarding anatomical accuracy and functional outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a modified feminization genitoplasty technique.
  • To combine advantageous features of the Hendren and Crawford pull-through operation and Kogan reduction clitoroplasty.
  • To achieve optimal cosmetic and functional results, simulating normal female anatomy.

Main Methods:

  • A modified surgical technique integrating elements of the Hendren/Crawford and Kogan procedures.
  • Utilizing preputial skin flaps for vestibule and anterior vaginal wall construction.

  • Employing the urogenital sinus for distal urethra formation to prevent hypospadias.
  • Creating the neovaginal introitus via skin flap mobilization, avoiding vaginal pull-through.
  • Exteriorizing the clitoris and neourethra through folded preputial skin.

    • Main Results:

    • Successful reconstruction in 9 pediatric patients.
    • Avoidance of female hypospadias through urogenital sinus utilization.
    • Prevention of urinary incontinence by preserving the urethral sphincter.
    • Ample neovaginal introitus achieved without vaginal pull-through.
    • Excellent cosmetic and functional outcomes reported.

    Conclusions:

    • The modified feminization genitoplasty technique offers a safe and effective approach.
    • This method successfully simulates normal female anatomy and function.
    • The procedure demonstrates superior results compared to traditional methods.
