The American Urological Association meeting May 16, 2008

Saturday, May 17th, 2008

In Orlando and already the lecture series has started.  Friday, how to administer testosterone and its safety in older men and in men who have had prostate cancer.

Looking for conferences on vaginoplasty, metoidioplasty, and transsexual surgery in general  but thinly represented at this meeting.

Which is better a metoidioplasty or phalloplasty

Dear Kristina,
A metoidioplasty is a lot less expensive and
is very satisfying for many especially those who do not
desire penetrable sexually relations.
Your sensation should be preserved 100% which is
not always true for phalloplasties as there will
need to be a neural hook up. Also with phalloplasties
there is a disfiguring harvesting scar either
on the forearm, or back, or lower abdomen.
But if all works well, you wind up with a normal
adult sized phallus.
If you have a metoidioplasty, this could be later
converted into a phalloplasty, but better to go in the
right direction from the start.
Your call.
