Article Abstract
Unlabelled: To detail the early experience with and results of a transfeminine (TF) genital reconstruction at an established plastic surgery practice in Western New York.
Methods: Between June 2016 and June 2019, 30 patients underwent penile inversion vaginoplasty for TF gender reassignment. All patients fulfilled World Professional Association for Transgender Health and NY State criteria for reassignment surgery. All surgeries were carried out at a large, government-owned tertiary care center.
Results: There were 30 patients in this retrospective study, with a mean age of 37 years (SD 5.4) and a mean body mass index of 27.3 kg/m (SD 3.2 kg/m). Nineteen patients never smoked, 4 were former smokers, and 7 were current smokers. Primary surgery was an orchiectomy and modified single-stage penile inversion vaginoplasty. Mean operative time was 6.0 hours. Mean initial hospital stay was 8.2 days. Three of the 30 (10%) patients required transfusion. There were 6 (20%) complications. Three complications (10%) required reoperation: 1 patient for wound dehiscence on postoperative day 7, 1 for rectal perforation identified on postoperative day 10, and 1 for urethrovaginal fistula. All complications were addressed without sequalae. Twenty of the 30 (66%) patients have undergone revision surgery. Indications for revision were prolapse correction/deepening, labiaplasty, clitoral hood construction/revision, meatal asymmetry, urinary fistula repair, and posterior vaginal flap revision. Twenty-one of 28 (75%) revisions were outpatient surgeries. There were no complications from these procedures. Overall satisfaction via survey was 92% (24 respondents).
Conclusions: TF gender reassignment is a novel, challenging set of procedures for the specialty of plastic surgery. With appropriate consideration and technique, penile inversion vaginoplasty is a safe, effective means of achieving this goal.

Background: Penile inversion vaginoplasty (PIV) entails considerable soft-tissue dissection to the perineal region and involves complex tissue rearrangement. This study examines the role of an enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathway after PIV in reducing opioid use and controlling postoperative pain.
Methods: A retrospective study of 50 transfemale patients who underwent PIV at a single institution from June 2021 to January 2023 was completed.

Background: A significant proportion of trans women is demanding for a genital gender-affirming surgery, with vulvo-vaginoplasty being the most frequently requested procedure. The gold standard for primary vaginoplasty in trans women is the penile skin inversion technique with scrotal skin graft, which allows for increased depth of the vaginal cavity.
Aims: The assessment of vulvo-vaginoplasty outcomes utilizing penile skin inversion and scrotal skin graft in individuals assigned male at birth in the surgeon's learning curve involves evaluating aesthetics, functionality, and sexual aspects.

Penile inversion vaginoplasty (PIV) is the most common surgical technique used in "gender-affirming bottom surgery." During this process, penile tissue is used to create a functional neo-vagina, allowing the individual to experience a more aligned physical manifestation of their "gender" identity. In this technical note, we describe the steps and nuances used by the senior author to ensure reliable aesthetic and functional outcomes, contributing to the overall well-being and satisfaction of transgender patients.
