At the forefront of gender-affirming surgery, Dr. Theerapong Poonyakariyagorn, MD has developed the Hybrid Peritoneal Pull-Through Vaginoplasty—a cutting-edge technique that uniquely combines peritoneal tissue and penile skin. This advanced approach improves both the function and appearance of the neovagina, providing a long-lasting and natural result for trans women seeking vaginoplasty.
What Makes This Technique Unique?
Unlike traditional vaginoplasty methods, the Hybrid Peritoneal Pull-Through Vaginoplasty utilizes two tissue types to deliver superior results:
- Peritoneal Tissue: Harvested from the abdominal lining, this tissue is naturally self-lubricating, allowing the neovagina to maintain long-term lubrication and durability.
- Penile Skin: Used in the external construction, penile skin ensures an aesthetically natural appearance while reducing the likelihood of complications seen with other graft materials.
Key Advantages of the Hybrid Vaginoplasty
- Ongoing Natural Lubrication: The peritoneal tissue provides continuous lubrication, eliminating the need for artificial lubricants post-surgery.
- Less Scarring: This technique encourages quicker healing and leaves behind minimal scarring for a more natural look.
- Long-Lasting Durability: The combination of peritoneal and penile tissue ensures stable, long-lasting results, enhancing the patient’s overall quality of life.
- Fewer Risks: This hybrid method minimizes the risk of complications, such as neovaginal shrinkage or narrowing (stenosis), often associated with other techniques.
Who Can Benefit?
The Hybrid Peritoneal Pull-Through Vaginoplasty is ideal for trans women who:
- Are looking for a more advanced surgical option that offers both enhanced functionality and aesthetic appeal.
- Want to experience natural vaginal lubrication and an authentic appearance.
- Have undergone previous vaginoplasty and are considering revision surgery.
