Phalloplasty is a surgical procedure performed to create or reconstruct a penis.

Doctors Info on Phalloplasty
Procedure
- Initial Examination A comprehensive consultation will be conducted, involving a thorough examination of the groin region and identification of the donor site. The physical and psychological implications of the procedure will be discussed in detail, providing an opportunity to address any concerns or queries. Additionally, an ultrasound examination of the kidneys and bladder may be recommended. Prior to the surgery, a series of preoperative investigations will be performed to ensure anaesthesia clearance, including a urine routine and urine culture.
- Day of the Procedure
- Please be advised that you must refrain from consuming any food or beverages for a minimum of 10 hours before your surgical procedure. Kindly ensure that you bring all of your previous medical records with you. The anaesthesiologist will conduct a thorough medical history review before transferring you to the operating theatre.
- Process of the Surgery
There are several surgical techniques used in penile lengthening phalloplasty, including:
- Release of the suspensory ligament: The most common method for penile lengthening involves releasing the penile suspensory ligament, which attaches the penis to the pubic bone. By surgically releasing this ligament, more of the penile shaft that is normally concealed within the body can be brought out, resulting in increased visible length of the penis.
- Suprapubic lipectomy: In some cases, excess fat deposits above the pubic bone can obscure the base of the penis, making it appear shorter than it actually is. Suprapubic lipectomy involves removing these excess fat deposits to enhance the visibility and perceived length of the penis.
- Pubic mound reduction: Similar to suprapubic lipectomy, pubic mound reduction involves removing excess tissue and fat from the area above the penis to improve the appearance of penile length.
- Penile suspensory ligament reconstruction: In cases where releasing the suspensory ligament alone may not provide sufficient lengthening, some surgeons may perform a ligament reconstruction procedure using a graft or implant to further increase penile length.
- Will I be Awake during the procedure? Yes, you will be awake during the procedure. However, you will not experience any discomfort.
- After the Procedure?
- You will be conscious and transferred to the recovery room. Dr Ashish Saini will assess your condition and provide you with post-operative instructions. Subsequently, you will be moved to your designated room for an overnight stay. Upon returning to the ward, you will be permitted to consume food and beverages. It is essential to have a designated caregiver to assist you in returning home.
- You will be discharged with a catheter in place to facilitate healing and ensure proper urine drainage. We recommend that you rest for a period of 3-5 days. In some cases, you may experience mild pain, minimal blood in urine, burning sensation, or pinkish urine.
- A follow-up appointment is necessary 3-5 days after the procedure for catheter removal and medication review. You can resume your normal routine within one week of the procedure.
Advantages of Phalloplasty
- Improved quality of life: For individuals born with ambiguous genitalia or micro-penis, phalloplasty can improve their self-esteem, body image, and overall quality of life by aligning their physical appearance with their gender identity.
- Enhanced sexual function: Some individuals may experience improved sexual satisfaction following penile lengthening surgery, particularly if they previously felt self-conscious or anxious about the size of their penis. Increased confidence in one’s appearance may contribute to a more fulfilling sexual experience.
- Psychological well-being: Phalloplasty can have a positive impact on mental health and psychological well-being by reducing gender dysphoria and alleviating distress.
Side effects of Phalloplasty
- The patient may encounter a few complications, such as Bleeding during surgery.
- There is a risk of anaesthesia and infection in the post-operative period.
- Partial phallic loss may occur when the neo-penis does not maintain adequate blood flow.
- Urethral stricture refers to scar tissue formed in the new urethra that might block the release of urine.
Is Phalloplasty Safe?
The procedure is deemed safe under the guidance of a proficient surgeon who consistently executes such interventions.When Phalloplasty is needed?
There are three main reasons why someone might need phalloplasty:- Micropenis: In cases where an individual has a micropenis, may cause physical or psychological distress, penile lengthening surgery may be considered to increase penile size and improve quality of life.
- Congenital abnormalities: Certain congenital conditions or abnormalities affecting penile development may result in a significantly undersized penis.
- Severe psychological distress: In rare cases, individuals may experience severe psychological distress related to the size of their penis, leading to significant impairment in daily functioning or mental health.
