		This is why metoidioplasty is sometimes referred to as a "clitoral free-up" or "clitoris release"-- the clitoris is freed from some of its surrounding tissue and brought forward on the body in a manner that makes it appear like a small penis.
		Metoidioplasty may also involve the creation of a scrotum (scrotoplasty) by inserting testicular implants inside the labia majora, then joining the two labia to create a scrotal sac.
		Metoidioplasty procedures range in cost from about $2,000 (for clitoral release only) to $18,000 (including urethral extension and testicular implants), and perhaps more if hysterectomy/oophorectomy is performed at the same time.

	Metoidioplasty - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Metoidioplasty is a variant of phalloplasty for transmen.
		During this procedure the clitoris is released from its "hood", and the urethra is lengthened with the labia minor to end at its tip.
		If only the clitoris is released from its hood, but no urethal lengthening and no formation of a scrotum is done, this is called clitoral release.

	Phalloplasty - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Often, this is done in a separate procedure, sometimes a full-scale metoidioplasty is done a few months before the actual phalloplasty to prevent complications or make intervention easier when they occur.
		Sensation is retained through the clitoris which is at the base of the neo-phallus; also, often a large nerve in the graft is connected to nerves either from the clitoris or other nearby nerves.
		Another option for transmen is metoidioplasty, where a small penis is created from the clitoris that has been enlarged by hormone replacement therapy.

		The primary risk with metoidioplasty is that when the surgeon advances the crura out, it is possible that the pudendal nerve may be damaged and the organ rendered numb.
		Metoidioplasty can be performed on an outpatient basis and also costs less than phalloplasty, usually running $4,000 to $10,000.
		Recently, Dr. Laub has contracted the spelling to metoidioplasty (this is etymologically analogous to the contraction of encyclopaedia to the more familiar encyclopedia.) Since it is Dr. Laub’s term, I have conformed to his spelling for the sake of respectful consistency.

		Metoidioplasty is a less costly alternative to phalloplasty.
		Metoidioplasty refers to a variety of operations, which utilize the individual’s existing genital tissue to create a more male appearance.
		The outcome most closely resembles a very small penis or "microphallus." Metoidioplasty is considerably less expensive and is associated with fewer complications than phalloplasty.

		Metoidioplasty (Also sometimes spelled "metaoidioplasty," a term meaning "a surgical change toward the male") Metoidioplasty--a surgical procedure developed in the 1970s--takes advantage of the fact that ongoing testosterone treatment in an FTM typically causes his clitoris to grow longer.
		Metoidioplasty takes advantage of this, using surgical techniques the clitoris is released from its hood and used to form a relatively small, but highly Sensate, Neo-Phallus.

		Metaoidioplasty (commonly spelled metoidioplasty), meaning "a surgical change toward the male," is a term coined by one of the surgeons who developed the technique in the 1970s.
		Metoidioplasty techniques can be compatible with urethral extension, and with the proper placement of the penis and scrotum forward on the body (which sometimes doesn't happen, due to the transman's original physical construction or the surgeon's technique), a very natural-looking, natural-feeling package is achievable.
		This procedure may be done as an outpatient in a clinic, though, as with phalloplasty, a general anesthetic is required.

		By the way, if you do a web search on "metoidioplasty" (the ten-dollar name for this whole procedure), the first hits are the plastic surgeons who specialize in doing this work.
		There is another procedure, phalloplasty, which can result in a more sizeable penis, but it is somewhat more prone to complications and many transmen don't think the technology is advanced enough to allow the new penis to function as well as they'd like.
		A big, big advantage of metoidioplasty is that it allows the old, nerve-filled clitoris to naturally grow into the new, nerve-filled penis.

		Metoidioplasty is a procedure that enables the clitoris to be released from its "hood" and then appear as a small penis.
		A form of circumcision can be performed at this time to enable the tip of the clitoris to appear as the male glans.
		It is important to recognize that this is not formal phalloplasty and that the result will depend in great part upon the size of the clitoris and its enlargement under the influence of hormones.

		If the objectives of phalloplasty are a neophallus of good appearance, standing micturition, sexual sensation, and/or coital ability, the patient should be clearly informed that there are several separate stages of surgery and frequent technical difficulties which may require additional operations.
		Even metoidioplasty, which in theory is a one-stage procedure for construction of a microphallus, often requires more than one surgery.

		And if there is ejaculation in an FTM who has had the basic metoidioplasty (one in which the urethra has been left alone), cots and condoms won't really help anyway.
		In this form of metoidioplasty, the urethra stays where it is. In your female-bodied form it was below your clit; in your male-bodied form it's at the base of your penis.
		And, of course, general writing about this issue is so often couched in heterosexual terms that many lesbians may find it more alienating than useful.
