Area of Science:

  • Genitourinary reconstructive surgery
  • Gender affirmation surgery
  • Microsurgery

Background:

  • Gender-affirming phalloplasty is a complex surgical procedure.
  • Goals include aesthetic and functional outcomes for transgender individuals.
  • Surgical techniques involve free and pedicled flaps.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To summarize the goals, methods, and outcomes of gender-affirming phalloplasty.
  • To highlight common complications and patient satisfaction.
  • To assess the impact on quality of life.

Main Methods:

  • Review of surgical techniques for phalloplasty.
  • Analysis of common flap types (free and pedicled).
  • Documentation of potential complications (e.g., flap healing, urethral stricture/fistula).

Main Results:

  • Phalloplasty aims for aesthetic phallus/scrotum, standing micturition, and penetrative intercourse.
  • Common complications involve flap healing and urethral issues.
  • High patient satisfaction rates are reported.

Conclusions:

  • Gender-affirming phalloplasty achieves significant functional and aesthetic goals.
  • While complications exist, they are manageable.
  • The procedure substantially improves patients' quality of life.
