Procedures Offered:
1. Peritoneal Pull-Through Vaginoplasty (PPV)
- Overview: This technique utilizes the patient’s peritoneal lining to create the vaginal canal, providing enhanced natural lubrication. It is ideal for patients seeking a deeper, well-lubricated vaginal canal.
- Advantages: PPV offers a durable and naturally moist vaginal lining, making it one of the most advanced options for MtF patients.
2. Sigmoid Colon Vaginoplasty
- Open Technique: In this method, a portion of the sigmoid colon is used to create the vaginal canal, offering continuous natural lubrication from the intestinal mucosa.
- Advantages: The open technique provides the surgeon with full visibility during the procedure, ensuring precision and safety.
- Laparoscopic Technique: A minimally invasive variation of the sigmoid colon vaginoplasty.
- Advantages: The laparoscopic approach reduces scarring and shortens recovery time while maintaining the same long-term functional and aesthetic outcomes.
3. Scrotal Skin Grafting Technique (Penile Inversion with Scrotal Skin Graft)
- Overview: A commonly used method for MtF vaginoplasty, this technique utilizes penile and scrotal skin to create the vaginal canal.
- Advantages: This method is effective for patients with sufficient penile and scrotal tissue, delivering an aesthetically pleasing result with satisfactory vaginal depth.
4. Zero Depth Vaginoplasty
- Overview: This technique focuses on creating external feminine genitalia without a vaginal canal, ideal for patients who do not seek penetrative intercourse.
- Advantages: Zero Depth Vaginoplasty minimizes post-operative complications such as dilation and infection, offering a quicker surgery and recovery process.
5. Minimal Depth Vaginoplasty
- Overview: This technique creates a shallow vaginal canal while focusing on external appearance, suited for patients who do not prioritize penetrative intercourse.
- Advantages: Minimal Depth Vaginoplasty reduces post-operative care requirements while still providing aesthetically feminine genitalia.
