Procedures Offered:

1. Peritoneal Pull-Through Vaginoplasty (PPV)

• Overview: This technique uses the patient’s peritoneal lining to form the vaginal canal, offering enhanced natural lubrication compared to other methods. It’s ideal for patients seeking a deeper, well-lubricated canal.
• Advantages: PPV provides a durable and naturally moist vaginal lining, making it one of the most advanced options for MtF patients.

2. Sigmoid Colon Vaginoplasty

• Open Technique: This method uses a portion of the sigmoid colon to create the vaginal canal, offering continuous natural lubrication from the intestinal mucosa.
  • Advantages: The open technique provides the surgeon with full visibility during the procedure, ensuring precision and safety.
• Laparoscopic Technique: A minimally invasive alternative to the open sigmoid colon vaginoplasty.
  • Advantages: The laparoscopic approach reduces scarring and shortens recovery time while maintaining the same long-term functionality and aesthetic outcomes.

3. Scrotal Skin Grafting Technique (Penile Inversion with Scrotal Skin Graft)

• Overview: A widely used method for MtF vaginoplasty, this technique utilizes both penile and scrotal skin to form the vaginal canal.
  • Advantages: This technique is effective for patients with sufficient penile and scrotal tissue, providing an aesthetically pleasing result with satisfactory vaginal depth.

4. Zero Depth Vaginoplasty

• Overview: This option focuses on creating external feminine genitalia without a vaginal canal, making it ideal for non-penetrative preferences.
  • Advantages: Zero Depth Vaginoplasty minimizes post-operative complications such as dilation and infection, offering a quicker surgery and recovery.

5. Minimal Depth Vaginoplasty

• Overview: A shallow vaginal canal is created with a focus on external appearance, ideal for patients who do not prioritize penetrative intercourse.
  • Advantages: This method reduces post-operative care requirements while still providing aesthetically feminine genitalia.

Vaginoplasty Package Inclusions:

• Surgical Fees: Includes fees for both the surgeon and anesthesiologist.
• Hospitalization: 5 to 7 days of hospital stay.
• Post-Operative Care: Includes medication for 1-2 weeks, hospital-based nursing care, and essential supplies such as dilators and douches.
