Preliminary investigation into options for phallo w/ nerve hookup in post-vplasty+penectomy patient cohort

Hello all,

I am planning to start looking into phalloplasty options for patients who have had a vaginoplasty with penectomy. I am particularly focused on phalloplasty methods that allow for innervation via microsurgery.

This is a small cohort but those in it suffer significantly due to lack of known surgical options, lack of community support, and internal emotional issues such as guilt. As such, providing a satisfactory surgical intervention to this group is essential to permanently resolving their prolonged dysphoric emotional state.

I will drop information in this thread as I find it, in an informal way. In the future I will assemble the information in a more formal way. I invite you, dear reader, to leave any journal articles or personal knowledge here as well.

If you are a surgeon or investigator in this area, I welcome your input and assistance. If you wish to publish a paper based on this investigation, please do not hesitate to contact me.
