	Phalloplasty - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Phalloplasty refers to the (re-)construction of a penis or, sometimes, to artificial modification of the penis by surgery, often for cosmetic purposes.
		The basic procedures are the same, although surgery on cisgendered men is usually a lot simpler, since the urethra still ends in the front of the genital area, whereas the urethra of transmen ends near the vaginal opening and has to be lengthened considerably.
		With all types of phalloplasty in transmen, the labia (see vulva) are united to form a scrotum, where prosthetic testicles can be inserted.

	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.
		This procedure is much simpler than full-scale phalloplasty, and usually has much less complication.

		In phalloplasty, the use of transplants and implants to obtain sufficient rigidity allowing for sexual penetration is difficult and often has resulted in complications and failure.
		In phalloplasty, the free flap technique is a useful alternative to the use of pedicled flaps.
		Isolated amputation of the noncarcinogenic penile glans is an extremely rare event, Immediate replantation as a composite graft or by microvascular techniques is the treatment of choice, Secondary reconstruction of the penile glans may be indicated after necrosis as a sequela of infection, surgical resection for malignancy, traumatic loss, and self-mutilation.

		Depending on the type of phalloplasty procedure, skin is typically taken from the abdomen, groin/leg, and/or forearm and grafted into the pubic area.
		This is due to the nature of the skin of the forearm (areas of the forearm are of good consistency and often are fairly hairless) as well as the nerves and blood vessels that are able to be harvested with that skin.
		Phalloplasty procedures also tend to be very expensive (between $50,000 to $150,000) and are not typically covered by insurance.

	An unbiased review of penis augmentation surgery or phalloplasty and its alternatives
		Phalloplasty is not a perfect operation and we used to hear horror stories in the early days of such surgical procedures.
		Phalloplasty is not a perfect operation and carries tremendous risks of surgical failure.
		In fact according to a research study on such phalloplasty surgery, about 50% of patients experience some kind of problems or infections.

	IJ TRANSGENDER - Psychological and Social Function Before and After Phalloplasty
		A population of 23 transsexuals accepted for phalloplasty was compared to a population of 40 who had undergone such surgery between six and one hundred and sixty months previously.
		He noted that only 39% of female transsexuals were satisfied with the results of their phalloplasty, as compared with the 91% of male patients who were satisfied with a vaginoplasty.
		He quotes also Lothstein, who spoke at the same conference, and found that whilst all the female transsexuals undergoing phalloplasty were satisfied with the surgical results and two-thirds of patients reported improved sex lives, half "entertained suicidal ideation" and two "wished their penises were larger and worried whether they could ever satisfy a woman".

		Phalloplasty involves constructing a penis from the inner forearm skin (nondominant side) and vaginal tissue and attaching it to the vaginal area.
		The forearm skin is grafted along with its nerves, arteries, and veins and formed around a plastic catheter tube, which will serve as the urethra and allow for urination once connected to the female urethra.
		Hardening of the urinary tract and tissue death in the new penis are complications of phalloplasty.

		The skin to make the penis was (and still is, in the classical phalloplasty technique) usually taken from the abdomen or hip and grafted into the groin area, sometimes above the mons pubis, sometimes directly on it.
		The type of phalloplasty that can be erotically sensate usually employs the skin and muscle from the forearm, though sometimes thigh or deltoid muscle is used.
		This procedure may be done as an outpatient in a clinic, though, as with phalloplasty, a general anesthetic is required.

	Phalloplasty for female to male gender reassignment
		The superior phalloplasty with regards to urinary function is the forearm free flap phalloplasty, which has a better cosmetic appearance and is sensate.
		Both types of phalloplasty will allow the insertion of a penile prosthesis for penetrative sexual intercourse and it is important that an inflatable variety is used, as this will reduce post-operative complications such as erosion.
		Over 200 pubic phalloplasties and 50 forearm free flap procedures have now been performed and the results and complications will be discussed.

		One such method is phalloplasty or penile augmentation or penile enlargement surgery.
		Phalloplasty requires two separate procedures: one to lengthen the penis and another to increase girth.
		After the stitches and incisions are sealed, weights and other forms of traction are hung from the penis to sustain or even increase the length.

	Why trans men should not be required to undergo vaginectomy
		The current recommendations are that with such counselling, most FTM's develop coping mechanisms to deal with their lack of a penis, and their partners whether female or male learn to respect the emotional limitations that FTM's face.
		These are notorious for their failure rate, and one of the main problems currently incurred by FTM's who undergo phalloplasty is catastrophic failure of the site where such a tube is connected to the former urethral channel.
		As such, it is positively cruel and inhumane to demand that FTM's should undergo phalloplasty which will leave most of them incontinent, unable to work, in great pain, severely scarred and socially isolated.

		In particular, information was sought on whether phalloplasty is a proven and recognised surgery.
		The information obtained from the literature suggests that phalloplasty is starting to become accepted at some centres as part of the standard of care for female-male transsexual SRS.
		Phalloplasty appears to remain a highly specialized procedure, with successful outcomes linked to appropriate patient selection, counselling and follow-up, and to high levels of surgical expertise.
