Comprehensive Penile & Genitourinary Reconstruction
Penile and genitourinary reconstruction encompasses specialized surgical procedures aimed at restoring both function and aesthetics for congenital anomalies, traumatic injuries, oncologic resections, and gender-affirming surgeries. This highly sensitive field requires meticulous surgical technique, understanding of urologic anatomy, and compassionate patient care. Our approach combines functional restoration with aesthetic considerations to help patients achieve improved quality of life, urinary function, sexual health, and psychological wellbeing.
Reconstruction Procedures
Phalloplasty & Metoidioplasty
Surgical construction of a penis using local tissue or free flaps for transgender men or those with penile absence/loss.
Urethral Reconstruction
Repair of urethral strictures, fistulas, or congenital anomalies using grafts or flaps to restore normal urination.
Hypospadias Repair
Correction of congenital urethral opening abnormality with restoration of normal urinary stream and penile appearance.
Penile Implants & Prosthetics
Placement of inflatable or malleable penile prostheses for erectile dysfunction following reconstruction or organic causes.
Scrotal Reconstruction
Reconstruction of scrotum using local flaps or tissue expansion with placement of testicular prostheses when indicated.
Gender-Affirming Surgery
Comprehensive male genital reconstruction as part of gender transition, often performed in staged procedures.
The Reconstruction Process
Genitourinary reconstruction requires thorough preoperative evaluation including urologic assessment, imaging, and psychological support when appropriate. We work closely with urologists, endocrinologists, and mental health professionals to develop comprehensive treatment plans. Surgical approaches are tailored to each patient's specific needs, with attention to preserving or restoring sensation, urinary function, and aesthetic appearance. Many procedures are staged to optimize outcomes and manage complexity.

Integrated care with specialists across multiple disciplines ensures comprehensive treatment.

Recovery & Outcomes
Recovery from genitourinary reconstruction varies by procedure complexity but typically involves careful postoperative monitoring, catheter management, pain control, and gradual return to activity. We provide detailed instructions for wound care, activity restrictions, and follow-up schedules. Functional outcomes are assessed over months to years, with additional procedures sometimes needed for refinement. Our goal is to help patients achieve improved urinary function, sexual health, body image, and overall quality of life through compassionate, patient-centered care.
