Scrotoplasty
A reconstructive procedure that creates or repairs the scrotum for gender-affirming or reconstructive purposes.
What is Scrotoplasty?
Scrotoplasty constructs or repairs the scrotum, either as part of gender-affirming surgery or to address injury, congenital conditions, or complications from previous surgery. Your surgeon uses adjacent tissue to form the scrotal structure, often incorporating testicular implants to create a natural appearance and feel where relevant. This is frequently performed alongside other genital reconstruction procedures as part of a comprehensive surgical plan. The procedure is performed under general or regional anaesthesia, with your surgical team tailoring the specific technique to your individual anatomy and goals.
Why is this procedure performed?
- Gender-affirming surgery as part of gender transition
- Reconstruction following traumatic injury
- Congenital conditions affecting scrotal development
- As part of a broader genital reconstruction surgical plan
- Correcting complications from a previous procedure
How does this procedure help?
Scrotoplasty helps restore natural anatomical appearance and function, providing meaningful physical and psychological benefit whether performed for gender-affirming or reconstructive purposes. When combined with testicular implants, the result closely mimics natural anatomy and sensation. Your surgical team provides thorough guidance through recovery, which varies depending on whether the procedure is performed alone or alongside other reconstructive surgery.
