Penile implants are the best option for sexual function after phalloplasty for trans men. This review covers penile prostheses, implantation techniques, and potential complications for transgender men seeking sexual experience.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Gender Affirming Surgery

Background:

  • Phalloplasty is a key procedure in gender affirmation for trans men, aiming for functional and aesthetic outcomes.
  • While standing urination is a primary goal, achieving sexual function with the neophallus is a significant secondary objective for many patients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current advancements in penile prostheses for trans men.
  • To discuss the available prostheses, surgical implantation techniques, and associated complications.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of penile prostheses used in phalloplasty for trans men.
  • Analysis of implantation techniques and outcomes.
  • Evaluation of complication rates and management strategies.

Main Results:
