Abstract
We report on a patient who had undergone
female-to-male transsexual surgery and subsequent phalloplasty by means of a
free latissimus dorsi muscle graft with pudendal nerve coaptation elsewhere
10 years ago. The surgical strategy for implantation and osseous fixation of
a penile prosthesis is described.
We discuss whether the primary implantation
of a penile prosthesis during 1-stage surgical phalloplasty is more
advantageous in comparison with the currently favored secondary
implantation. Phalloplasty should be represented by a 1-stage surgical
procedure encompassing the creation of a neourethra, restoration of tactile
and possibly erogenous sensibility, and implantation of a penile prosthesis.
The result should have aesthetic value and
be pleasing to the patient.
