Decadal Outcomes of Prefabricated Urethral Reconstruction in Phalloplasty

Abstract

Urethral reconstruction in phalloplasty for transgender men poses considerable challenges and risks. Despite numerous surgical techniques, an ideal method has yet to be found. This study offers a 10-year follow-up on prefabricated urethral reconstruction with full-thickness skin grafts in radial forearm free flap phalloplasty. Sensory outcomes of the neophallus after one year matched those of the control area, and patients successfully achieved self-standing urination. Penile prosthesis insertion took place five years post-surgery. A thorough review of existing literature and surgical methods is included for discussion.

Keywords: Urethral Reconstruction; Phalloplasty
