Phalloplasty: Sex confirmation surgery

Phalloplasty is the construction or reconstruction of the penis.
Phalloplasty is a common surgical choice for transgender people interested in gender reassignment surgery.
It is also used in the reconstruction of the penis in cases of trauma, cancer or birth defects.
The goal of phalloplasty is to make a penis large enough to feel and urinate while standing.
This is a complex procedure that often involves more than one surgery.
Phalloplasty techniques continue to evolve in the fields of plastic surgery and urology.
During this procedure, surgeons use a scaling of your forearm to make a penis.

What happens during phalloplasty?

During a phalloplasty, doctors remove a piece of skin from the donor area of your body. They may remove the flap completely or attach it partially.

This tissue is used to make the urethra and the shaft of the penis in the tubular structure inside the tube.

In fact, the larger tube is rotated around the inside tube. Skin grafts are then taken from areas of the body, where no significant scar remains, and donated to the site.

Surgeons can lengthen the urethra and attach it to the urethra so that urine comes out of the tip of the penis.

The clitoris usually remains near the base of the penis where it can still be stimulated.

People who can orgasm before surgery can usually have it after surgery.

The steps of performing phalloplasty operations are as follows:
Hysterectomy during which doctors remove the uterus
Furrectomy to remove the ovaries
Vaginectomy to remove or partially remove the vagina
Phalloplasty to turn a layer of exfoliator into a phallus
Scrotectomy to transform the labia majora into the scrotum, with or without testicular implantation
Urethra to lengthen and connect the urethra
glansplasty to show the appearance of an uncircumcised tip
It is possible to implant a penis for an erection

Phalloplasty techniques

The difference between the dominant phalloplasty techniques is where the donor skin is removed and how it is removed.

Donor sites can include the lower abdomen, groin, trunk, or thighs. However, it is the preferred location of most forearm surgeons.

Improvement

You should be able to return to work about four to six weeks after your phalloplasty, unless your job requires strenuous activity. Then you have to wait six to eight weeks. Avoid exercising and lifting for the first few weeks, although walking is fast. You will have a catheter in place for the first few weeks. After two to three weeks, you can start urinating.

Your phalloplasty may be broken down into different stages, or you may have scrotoplasty, urethral reconstruction, and galvanoplasty at the same time. If you separate them, you will have to wait at least three months between the first and second steps. For the final stage, which is penile implantation, you have to wait about a year. It is important to feel full in your penis before implant placement.

Depending on your surgery, you may never feel sexual pain in your phallus (but you can still have clitoral orgasm). It takes a long time for nerve tissue to heal. You may feel a touch before feeling erotic. Complete recovery takes up to two years

Next care

Avoid pressing on the penis.
To reduce swelling and improve blood circulation, try lifting the penis (place it on a surgical dressing).
Keep the incisions clean and dry, clean their abrasions again and wash them with soap and water as directed by your surgeon.
Apply ice to the area.
Keep the area around the drains clean with a sponge bath.
Do not shower for the first two weeks unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
Do not pull on the catheter, as this can damage the bladder.
Empty your bladder at least three times a day.
Do not try to use your urine before you want.
Itching, swelling, bruising, blood in the urine, nausea and constipation are all normal in the first few weeks.
