Phalloplasty

 Phalloplasty is a surgical procedure that is designed to create or reconstruct a penis. The procedure is typically done for transgender men or cisgender men who have lost their penis due to injury or disease.

There are several techniques for phalloplasty, but the most common involves taking tissue from another part of the body, such as the forearm or thigh, and using it to create a new penis. The tissue is formed into the shape of a penis and then attached to the pelvic region. The procedure may also involve connecting the urethra, which allows for urination through the new penis.

​

   The surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia and can take several hours to complete. Recovery time can vary, but most patients can expect to spend several days in the hospital and several weeks to months recovering at home.

​

   It's important to note that phalloplasty is a complex surgery with potential risks and complications, and it's important to discuss these with a qualified surgeon before deciding to undergo the procedure. Additionally, the procedure may involve multiple surgeries and a lengthy recovery process.
