Thus, other techniques may be more appropriate in certain circumstances. Capanna developed a combination of vascularized fibular grafts and strut allografts in a way that the strut allograft provides with significant initial mechanical stability, which facilitates incorporation of a vascularized fibular graft and promotes long-term survival of the reconstruction.

Therefore, we aim to report patients' level of satisfaction during our initial experience in the penile inversion vaginoplasty technique.
