Metoidioplasty
Metoidioplasty is a gender-affirming surgery that constructs a penis from the enlarged clitoris, offering a less invasive alternative to phalloplasty while maintaining natural sensation.
Metoidioplasty uses the individual's existing genital tissue to form a neophallus, offering advantages in terms of sensation and recovery compared to phalloplasty.
