Re: Depth (from http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MTF-SRS-FTM/message/40720)
The discussion started out by a patient saying her doctor was not able to make a depth of over 4 1/2 inches and blamed it on her perineum which is short.
Reply from another…
The perineal flap is not that long regardless and does not play into depth but very important to provide a proper entree into the vaginal introitus or opening and of course provides girth at the opening or outer portion of the vagina. Girth not depth. It is sewn into the back wall of the vagina to funnelize the vagina. For depth, the scrotal graft with rare exception is unsurpassed as this skin when properly thinned stretches quite easily.
