A Method of Preserving the Glans Penis as a Clitoris in Sex Conversion Operations in Male Transsexuals

Sven-O. Rubin

Open publisher page 28 citations

Abstract

At sex conversion operations on male transsexuals the glans penis is usually resected or used as a "portio" in the constructed artificial vagina. The glans penis and the clitoris are embryologically corresponding organs and it may be logical to conserve the glans as a clitoris in sex conversion operations. In one young male transsexual the glans penis was used as a substitute for clitoris. The result was good both cosmetically and functionally.
