title: One-stage reconstruction of the vagina with penile skin as an island flap in male transsexuals.
abstract: A method is presented to create a neovagina in the male transsexual, using the penile skin as an island flap for the vaginal lining. The labia are shaped with scrotal skin, using two Z-plasties; a small bud of corpus cavernosum covered by penile skin substitutes for a clitoris.
