 | | Now, what we're actually calling Gender Confirmation surgical procedures would be the removal of the penis, removal of the testicles, vaginoplasty, mastectomy in the female to male patient, hysterectomy, oophorectomy, and the phalloplasty, construction of a penis. |
 | | This slide kind of shows you that the penis is denuded and that skin is used to line the vaginal cavity that is made. |
 | | And it's important when you're counseling a patient that they, when they're feel they're about ready for surgery, they want to explore it, that they contact the surgeon and find out what their particular technique is and what the requirements might be for the surgeon in terms of body fat, smoking and things like that. |
