There are several techniques used in phalloplasty:
1. Radial Forearm Free Flap (RFF) Phalloplasty: This technique uses skin, nerves, and blood vessels from the forearm to create a phallus. 2. Anterolateral Thigh (ALT) Phalloplasty: Tissue from the thigh is used. 3. Metoidioplasty: This is less extensive and involves releasing the clitoris from its hood to create a small phallus, often used as an alternative to phalloplasty.
Each method has its benefits and drawbacks, and the choice depends on factors like patient preference, anatomy, and overall health.
