Phalloplasty Surgeons Who Don't Require Vaginectomy with Urethral Lengthening
Is It Necessary to Have a Vaginectomy Before Getting Phalloplasty?
While Vaginectomy is not a strict pre-requisite for Phalloplasty, most Phalloplasty Surgeons require Vaginectomy to be performed if Urethral Lengthening (UL) is also being performed, because Vaginectomy is believed to reduce complications related to UL, particularly urinary fistula.
