Corpora Cavernosa and Corpus Spongiosum

[mumbaigirl]

Some surgeons remove corpora cavernosa and not corpus spongiosum while some others remove corpus spongiosum and corpora caversona. Does anyone know what advantages and disadvantages this bring in final results?

Most of the cavernosa  is removed to avoid unpleasant side effects when sexually aroused but spongiosum has to remain to an extent so the urethra will not die off blood supply wise. Sometimes the urethral tissue is reused because it's an obvious source of sexual lubrication (being mucosa).

Thanks flan

I am confused though

When I asked Dr. C if he removes corpora cavernosa at the time of surgery, he said' " The spongy tissue around the urethra (corpus spongiosum) will be totally removed at the time of SRS."

Damn it's all so complicated

Every doctor uses his own technique. The golden rule is that the corpora spongiasa and cavernosa should be removed in total. You asked about the prolaps. Prolaps can not happen with the non inversion technique because the skin graft is fixed by healing. It can only happen with inversion or with colon vaginoplasty.
