Jj. Hage et Rb. Karim, SENSATE PEDICLED NEOCLITOROPLASTY FOR MALE-TRANSSEXUALS - AMSTERDAM EXPERIENCE IN THE FIRST 60 PATIENTS, Annals of plastic surgery, 36(6), 1996, pp. 621-624
The results of vaginoplasty by inversion of penile and scrotal skin in
male-to-female transsexuals, in general, are satisfying. Cosmetic and
functional considerations dictate the construction of a neoclitoris v
entral to the urethral orifice. Embryologically, the glans penis and c
litoris are homologues and mutual substitution seems to be the logical
approach. In this paper, the long-term results in the first 60 patien
ts using the pedicled sensate neoclitoroplasty according to Blown are
presented and discussed. It has proven to be a safe technique that lea
ds to satisfying cosmetic and functional results in nearly all patient
s, It should be considered state of the art in primary gender-confirmi
ng surgery for male-to-female transsexuals.
