At the Bangkok Thailand Plastic Surgery Center, Dr. Theerapong Poonyakariyagorn, MD, offers Sigmoid Colon Vaginoplasty as part of his specialized gender-affirming procedures.

Who Can Benefit from Sigmoid Colon Vaginoplasty?

1. Trans Women Seeking Greater Vaginal Depth

  • Sigmoid colon vaginoplasty offers consistent and stable depth, making it ideal for those seeking greater depth compared to other methods, like penile inversion.
  • Beneficial for individuals with personal, emotional, or functional reasons for needing enhanced depth.

2. Patients Desiring Natural Lubrication

  • The intestinal lining provides continuous natural moisture, reducing reliance on external lubricants and increasing comfort in daily life and intimate moments.

3. Individuals with Limited Genital Tissue

  • Ideal for patients with insufficient penile or scrotal tissue, for whom penile inversion vaginoplasty may not be feasible.

4. Patients Seeking Durable, Long-Lasting Results

  • The resilient nature of colon tissue ensures a durable vaginal canal that is less prone to narrowing (stenosis) and offers long-term functionality.

5. Individuals Considering Revision Surgery

  • Sigmoid colon vaginoplasty is an excellent option for patients who have experienced complications, such as vaginal stenosis, or who are dissatisfied with previous surgeries.

6. Patients Experiencing Granulation Issues

  • Some individuals encounter excess tissue growth (granulation) with other methods. The colon’s tissue structure minimizes such complications, offering improved long-term outcomes.

7. Non-Binary Individuals Seeking Alternative Feminization Options

  • Non-binary patients who prefer a functional and lubricated vaginal canal without traditional penile inversion may benefit from this approach, ensuring results that align with their goals and identity.
