Advances in Phalloplasty

Phalloplasty is a surgical procedure aimed at constructing or reconstructing a penis. Often performed for transgender men or individuals with penile anomalies, it involves creating a new phallus using grafted tissue from the forearm, thigh, or abdomen. The surgery may include the creation of a urethra, implantation of penile prosthetics, and cosmetic enhancements to ensure function and appearance. It requires multiple stages and meticulous surgical planning. Phalloplasty aims to improve gender congruence and function, with a focus on achieving both aesthetic and practical outcomes, often supported by comprehensive post-surgical care and therapy.
