  • Title: Metoidioplasty.
    Author: Djinovic RP.
    Journal: Clin Plast Surg; 2018 Jul; 45(3):381-386. PubMed ID: 29908626.
    Abstract:
    Transmasculine gender confirmation surgery remains challenging and demanding. As there is no perfect or standard procedure for creating male genitalia, practitioners continue to strive for better solutions. There are 2 goals in the surgical treatment of transgender persons: removal of the native genitalia and secondary sexual characteristics and creation of the desired genitalia and secondary sexual characteristics. In transmen, this often means removal of the uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries, and vagina and creation of the external genitalia. This article highlights metoidioplasty. Metoidioplasty with simultaneous removal of the internal genitalia may be performed in a single procedure.
