Penile implants in female-to-male phalloplasty show promise for enabling standing voiding. Surgeons should consider Dacron wrapping and pubic symphysis fixation for optimal outcomes and to prevent complications.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Plastic Surgery
  • Gender Affirming Surgery

Background:

  • Standing voiding is a priority for female-to-male (FtM) individuals undergoing total phalloplasty.
  • Historically, high complication rates have limited the use of rigidity prostheses in phalloplasty.

Observation:

  • This study reports on the initial five cases of Dynaflex hydraulic penile implantations in FtM total phalloplasty.
  • The neophallus requires sensitivity before prosthesis implantation, which is best performed as a secondary procedure.

Findings:

  • Covering the penile prosthesis with a Dacron prosthesis promotes optimal encapsulation and collagen ingrowth.
  • Fixation of the single cylinder prosthesis to the pubic symphysis is recommended due to limited neophallus girth and lack of serviceable crus penis.

  • The neoscrotal approach is the preferred method for prosthesis insertion.

    • Implications:

    • Dynaflex hydraulic implants offer promising results for restoring erectile function and enabling standing voiding in FtM individuals.
    • Careful surgical technique, including Dacron wrapping and specific fixation methods, is crucial for successful outcomes.
    • Combining a neourethra with a rigidity prosthesis in phalloplasty remains a significant surgical challenge.
