FTM:
Metoidioplasty

Description
Metaoidioplasty is the freeing of the enlarged clitoris/penis from the underlying labia minora and dropping it via release of the suspensory ligament. Construction of a testicle-laden scrotal sac is also an option. Without the urinary hook-up, this is not a perfect procedure but does not prevent future urinary work if so desired. Vaginectomy is a better procedure when combined with urinary hook-up.

May be combined with Hysterectomy.

Procedure
Performed at Mt. San Rafael Hospital

Pre-op and Post-op

• Cease taking aspirin / aspirin-like products one week prior to procedure.
• Arrive in Trinidad either the day before or the morning of your procedure
• Plan to stay in Trinidad for two nights past your procedure, and depart no sooner than the 3rd day.

Please note that Dr. Bowers does not presently offer Phalloplasty.

Since metoidioplasty is dependent upon the impact of testosterone on the genitalia, please be prepared to discuss your hormone regimen and history with Dr. Bowers. Metoidioplasty is a final destination for some transmen, and an intermediate step for others. Please let Dr. Bowers know your expectations and any future plans for genital surgery.
