Dr. Theerapong Poonyakariyagorn is renowned for his expertise in two advanced forms of vaginoplasty used in gender-affirming surgeries: Peritoneal Pull-Through Vaginoplasty (PPV) and Sigmoid Colon Vaginoplasty.
- Peritoneal Pull-Through Vaginoplasty (PPV) involves using the peritoneum (the abdominal lining) to create a neovagina. This approach is noted for its benefits like enhanced natural lubrication, reduced scarring, and lower risk of stenosis (vaginal narrowing). It is especially suited for patients seeking a more natural result in terms of vaginal function and appearance
- Sigmoid Colon Vaginoplasty utilizes a section of the sigmoid colon to form the vaginal canal. It is ideal for creating a neovagina with significant depth and durable tissue. The colon’s mucous production helps with lubrication, and the tissue is robust, which may reduce complications like stenosis. However, it requires a more invasive procedure than PPV
Each technique has its advantages depending on patient preferences and medical conditions. Dr. Theerapong’s extensive experience and personalized care make him a top choice for both procedures
