[Genital gender affirming surgery in trans men]. / Chirurgie génitale de masculinisation des hommes trans.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: Genital surgery for masculinisation in the context of gender incongruence is characterised by the reconstruction of male genitalia using multiple surgical techniques - free flap phalloplasty, pedicled flap phalloplasty or metaoidioplasty - which this article aims to describe. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A narrative review of the literature on these trans surgeries was carried out. RESULTS: Each technique has specific advantages and disadvantages, and does not produce the same results in terms of surgical risks, size of the reconstructed phallus, sensitivity, sexual function and urinary function. CONCLUSION: This surgical decision must therefore be shared with the person concerned, based on a clear understanding of their expectations and objectives. Long-term follow-up is recommended.
