Phalloplasty Surgeons Who Don't Require Vaginectomy with Urethral Lengthening

Is It Necessary to Have a Vaginectomy Before Getting Phalloplasty?

While Vaginectomy is not a strict pre-requisite for Phalloplasty, most Phalloplasty Surgeons require Vaginectomy to be performed if Urethral Lengthening (UL) is also being performed, because Vaginectomy is believed to reduce complications related to UL, particularly urinary fistula. Despite this, there are some people who are interested in vaginal preservation along with UL and are willing to accept the risks and provide informed consent. The surgeons listed below are Phalloplasty Surgeons in the U.S. who will perform Urethral Lengthening without requiring Vaginectomy.
