Yeah this surgery is rare, and even more rare for trans folk, glad I could help add to it :p

I had one in 2013 and it had to be reverted for vaginoplasty...

My surgeon is also my srs surgeon, he told me with knowing that I'm getting srs he can work around it

How are they planning to locate the urethral opening during vaginoplasty? My surgeon was not keen on having the urethra posterior to the introitus, and said the perineal urethral opening was right where vaginal opening should be. They opted to reconnect the old plumbing so they'd have enough urethra to go around the vagina and have a normal female urethral location.

So when I was originally talking to him about it, he did tell me the only issue is he would have to tug on the urethra during vaginoplasty, so I asked him if he could do this surgery in a way that would make it easier for him to do vaginoplasty in the future and he said yes, he definitely was thinking for a second there before answering on that one so he probably came up with some plan but I didn't ask exactly what

May I ask what this surgery is about ?

When you can't pee because your urethra is obstructed, they create an alternative exit so you can void your bladder.

Only difference here is I got it for transitioning reasons!

Or that! Generally they are done for obstructions.

May I ask what purpose this serves? I am just curious if you needed it for medical reasons or wanted it.

Wanted it for transition reasons, honestly can't fully explain it myself but it feels better having no choice but to sit to pee and also takes away attention from the dick

Small bonus but it also makes it impossible to cum in someone and get them pregnant while still keeping possible fertility with testes

You don’t have a vaginoplasty or labiaplasty, its just the urethra exit?

Yup and will eventually be turned into both of those things

You’re doing penile preservation?

No, it's more like I couldn't get srs yet, so I decided to settle on this surgery until I can afford it

Maybe a weird question, but how much is SRS with your surgeon?

Huh, that's neat! I didn't know Witten did that sorta thing for transition, I've heard he's getting trained up on penile preservation vaginoplasty soon tho so once that happens I'll probably be coming back to him. In the mean time, the orchi he did was a VERY nice job, healed up so perfect I didn't even need a follow-up visit.

What's the difference in penile preserving vaginoplasty?

And yes he seems like a very promising surgeon

Basically, instead of turning everything inside out and turning the glans into a clit with the erectile tissue on either side of the opening, it's basically just creating the canal out of scrotum skin + some other skin graft for depth (sigmoid colon, peritoneum, or regular skin) and leaving the penis untouched and fully functional - you get the bonus hole without losing anything.

Ah healing is going good, it's wild peeing from between my legs now, also definitely almost feels like I don't have a penis, it feels secondary

I realize this about 2 years old and I agree with what everyone has stated here but I’d also like to have this done as I have major bottom dysphoria but I’d also like to get my full vaginal plasty in the future as well I just hate having the option as well as feeling like I have no options to use the bathroom or cum through the tip of my penis
