FTM Phalloplasty Surgery Procedures

The development of procedures for phalloplasty has followed those of general reconstructive surgery. Bogoras first reported a total penile reconstruction using a tubularized pedicled abdominal flap in 1936. Several different procedures with local flaps followed. In the 1980s, the introduction of microvascular free flaps transfer started a new era of reconstructive surgery which had a great impact on phalloplasty. Free flap phalloplasty is now the more common approach, though some surgeons and patients still prefer local flap techniques.
