Abstract:
Genital gender affirmation surgery in transgender women is usually performed by single-stage penile inversion vaginoplasty, with creation of vagina, perineal urethral meatus, majora and minora labia, and clitoris. Postoperative functional or aesthetic complications are common, affecting every reconstructed part of the neovulva. Patients should be preoperatively informed of those possible complications. Postoperative close follow-up must be conducted, beginning with therapeutic learning of the self-dilation regimen, detecting and treating any complication, and ending up when complete healing is obtained among satisfied patient.
