This article deals with a clinical case of a tube in a tube TDAP phalloplasty in a 38 years old trans-man. While penis reconstruction surgery aroused an efflorescence of different operative techniques, the resulting female to male surgery sees these procedures boil down to two or three flaps. If we usually discuss before surgery about the way to lengthen the urinary tract, as the way to implant later for intercourse; the choice of the donor site remains too systematized. Surgeons commonly focus on the reconstructed site prior to the donor site. In this case, laxity in the back and reliability of direct closure make us harvest the thoracodorsal perforator flap. Dissection of perforators saves muscular function and direct closure afford an aesthetic result less visible than a graft on the forearm. The thin flap we harvest allows tube in tube phalloplasty so that phallus and urethra are being built in the same time. One case has been reported in the literature of thoracodorsal perforator flap phalloplasty with grafted urethra, but no case of tube within a tube TDAP phalloplasty.
