Susan's Place Transgender Resources

I have been wondering for a while about srs n the different types n techniques, I would really like to research it all online but I honestly wouldn't know where to start, like I don't even know the differents between the terms srs n grs, most of my online research has been on hormones, which took a long time to learn what I know so far (still learning something new every day).

Can anyone tell me the names of the types of surgerys n techniques, or even some links that could explain all of this?

I really can't afford it n it will probably be a long time till I can.

I know of three techniques:

1. Penile inversion - the oldest of the three. Involves turning the penis "inside out" and using its skin to line the vagina. Scrotal tissue forms the outer labia, urethral tissue forms the inner labia.

2. Scrotal resection - Practiced mostly in Thailand. The scrotum is removed and sliced in such a way that it is more stretchable, and then inverted to form the lining of the vagina. Penile tissue is used to form the labia. Harder/longer recovery than penile, but produces more depth and more feeling in the labia.

3. Sigmoid colon - Vagina is lined with tissue from the sigmoid colon. The only one of the three where the vagina produces mucosal discharge the way a cis woman's would.

Umm??  That makes me wonder who would be the best surgeons in the world, not that I could afford him or her lol

some surgeons like the late Dr Djinkovic in Serbia also stitch the sliced open urethra so that it forms a continuous mucosal lining from the female urethra meatus all the way deep into the neo V..Dr Djinkovic also kept the anterior bisected glans as a neo cervix for pleasure in deep penetration

Both McGinn and Bowers use the urethral tissue to partially line (sounds like this other chap goes deeper with it). Their use of said tissue is what short listed them for me,

My surgeon, Kathy Rumer, uses urethral tissue as well.

Brassard uses urethral tissue for inner labia/clitoral hooding as well.

The other thing to keep in mind is that very few surgeons do the "pure" penile inversion anymore; because the glans is removed and [partially] repurposed into the clitoris, even the supposed PI surgeons tend to take a bit of skin graft/scrotal skin and supplement at the end of the penile tube with it. Basically, that end is open and needs to be closed anyway, and it's relatively little extra work to add more skin there = more depth if need be.

Which surgeon is "best" depends in part on your personal priorities - I wanted function and aesthetics over depth, for example, and ruled out Meltzer just b/c of price. All of the top surgeons will generally do a  stellar job, but most do have their quirks/specialties.

The urethra method sounds great, I looked up the colon method n it didn't sound very desirable for me because I get pretty good lubrication back there, n plus I like it back there n it would seem a bit of a waste to me to loose that, but any amount of lubrication for the neo vagina would be great.

So I guess what I would be looking for is functionality n a good cosmetic look, depth wouldn't be a big issue as long as I could get a good 5 inches or so, being that 5 inches is the average penis length.

Wow I'm actually using mature words n all  :laugh:

Scheduled for April 2nd 2015 for SRS. I have consulted with all the most recognized surgeons for SRS and opted for Thialand. Yes, they are less costly even with air fares but there were no financial considerations in my decision, I only wanted the best.  The surgery is not rocket scientist its been done over and over again and I understand that its a surgery that is best done by a surgeon who has done this a thousand times. I looked at surgeon the way I perform due diligence on my investments, credential, historical records, good outcomes and also the bad. I kinda grilled them and most were very helpful but a couple took exception to my in-depth (pun...) questions. Also the after care in Thailand is far superior.

From the article:

Dimensions of surgically created neovaginas

The depth of the typical neovagina created by male-to-female sex reassignment surgery is generally limited by the length of Denonvilliers' fascia, [citation needed] and is reported to be between 11 and 12 cm (4.3-4.7 in), within the range of the natural female vagina.[2]
