Phalloplasty for the genetic male

Giulio Garaffa et al. Transl Androl Urol. 2012 Jun.

Abstract

The goal of total phallic reconstruction in the genetic male is the creation of a sensate and cosmetically acceptable phallus with an incorporated neo-urethra that allows the patient to void while standing, engage in penetrative sexual intercourse with confidence and ejaculate in the vagina.

Keywords: Phallic reconstruction; RAFF phalloplasty; penile inadequacy.
