Updates on feminizing genital affirmation surgery (vaginoplasty) techniques.

Vaginoplasty is a gender affirming surgery performed for transgender women who desire feminizing genital reconstruction. Over the last decade, access to surgical care has improved for patients, and vaginoplasty has been increasingly performed. Several vaginoplasty techniques exist, many of which are modifications of the traditional penile inversion vaginoplasty. In this paper, we review the penile inversion vaginoplasty, the intestinal segment vaginoplasty and the peritoneal flap vaginoplasty. An overview of the techniques employed to perform these procedures is provided, as well as an update on their published outcomes and complications.
