[Male-female transsexualization with glandular preservation].
The choice of the tissue to build up the neovagina is an important step in the surgical treatment of transsexualism. Both the penile skin and an intestinal segment are possible solutions to the problem. However intestinal segments have some defects like continuous secretions and painful intercourse. For these reasons the authors prefer the penile skin with the neuro-vascular bundle preserved. One hundred cases of this surgery are presented.
