The 12th edition
The 12th edition
In some patient that have long penis we will try to use the penile flap to be the anterior vaginal wall. To avoid the graft contractionb at the anterior vaginal wall and to gain the benefit of flap elasticity, the new design of penile flap has been deveioped. It take about 1 year to get this setting prior to failure of other 2 setting. The anterior penile flap is separate to make the long labia minor and the distal end turn to construct the vaginal wall next to the urethral opening. In this setting the urethal opening is quite stable and the vaginal opening is wider and more elastig. So the dilation and sexual intercourse will be much easier.
The 2nd version of the 12nd edition
As we set the urethal flap and graft in the new design, we modify the technique of tissure setting. We interpose the urethal opening and the distal penile flap with the urethal graft. Therefore the opening of valva consist of mucosal tissue that have slippery surface which facilitate the dilation and insertion
The 11th edition
MTF surgery the 11th edition
The development of edition 11th is to correct the problem in case of short penis and it is the development from the 9thedition . We can make longer labial lip to be more pimilar to the congenital labia.
The lining of vagina consisted of scrotal graft making the anterior wall from the opening of valva and long scrotal flap a and graft to make posterior wall. The posterior flap is raised as parineal artery- pedicle flap , so the circulation to the distal end come from the 2 arteries from the groove of penile crus. As a result , the skin of the beginning of posterior flaps can be cut medially to make a space of labia minor, then we can make the end of labia come closer to be more similar to the female anatomy . Any way now we cannot make the true posterior fouchette because of the shortness of the tissue.
All of penile skin is used just for the labia minor reconstruction , the settit of upper half of labia is the same as the 9th edition but for the lower half, instead of hanging from the anterior vaginal wall, the labia attach the side wall of vagina by 2 special designflap …from the posterior flap.
The developed pedicle posterior is the key to make the longer labial lip to make more esthitic vagina.
The 2nd version of the 11st edition
Since there is a lot of change happened in the 11st edition so a lot of minor adjustment has been created. At the first time , we use a part of the posterior flap to line the beginning of anterior flap but since we donot have a lot of tissue, the opening of vagina is too norrow and cause the problem of dilatiion. Then we use the scrotal graft more to the beginning of ant wall but the result of graft contraction result the narrowing of the vg opening and pulling of the urethal.
So now we modify the setting of the urethal mocosa . the uretral tube is separated in a new designed, getting more tissue to the valva area and less tissue to the critoris area. So the crus of critoris come closer together to be more natural and most mucosal tissue move to postrior to be the beginning of anterior vaginal wall. Since the tissue is a long flap, so the graft contaction will not effect the urethal and since the lining is mucosal tissue that is more similar to female vagina.the surface of the anterior wall is slipper and natural, so it facilitate the sexual intecouse and dilation. The urethae flap can be effectively used to correct the problem of narrowingof valva.Moreover at the side of urethal flap, we can add the urethral mucosal graft in the new design that can make the valva wider and correct the problem of inadequate tissue at the anterior wall
This setting of urethrae is not new. It has been done in europe for more than 20 years but indifferent setting from ours. The result is excellent for functional vagina because it make the sexual intercourse and dilation easier. Anyway some one will notice the redness of the urethrae at the beginning of anterior vaginal wall and look not esthetic. But after 4 0r 5 monthes, the redness will turn to be pink color and look more natural.
The risk of this setting is the separation of the wound of labia minor if the penis is too short an is not easy in the setting for the primary colon vaginoplasty.
The 10th edition
The 10th edition
For the 9th we designed to make functional vagina but it suit to asian people that have less hair. For the 10th edition, we put almost total graft to the vaginal wall to get rid of hairs, The posterior wall is very short and need no vascularised. It has less feeling, less elasticity but get more benefit in the hair free vagina.
Since we do not need the tissue for anterior vaginal wall, so we can use the penile flap to make a longer labia to cover the side of vaginal opening.
The problem of the 10th is the contraction of the graft that stay beneath the urethral opening , the contracted graft pull down th e opening of urethane to the Vg cavity. In some cases the opening turn to inside of vagina .
The 9th edition
The 9th edition
In this edition we study more on, the vascular and nerve supply of the scrotal flap to make the posterior flap. We preserve and meticulous dissected the flap to make more senstive and survived posterior flap .The posterior flap will be thicker and perineal vss is dissected to the flap until the separation of deep artery and dorsal artery. After the artery is brought togeter to the flap, less congestion ,less hematoma and less end necrosis occur, Anyway this type of dissection cause more intra op bleeding. As we got the good survival of flap,we can modify the flap in the setting of edition 11st and 12nd.
We concentrate more on flap setting, the posterior flap is set deeply to the longitudinal layer of the rectum. The anterior flap is fixed to the posterior bladder wall and prosthetic capsule. The labia minor is more dissected and set in the new style of 3 point setting. We separate the midline of anterior flap to make a long midline cleft and fix to the prostate to get the longer and more complete structure of labia minor. Any way the labia minor end at the anterior vaginal wall and does not cover on the side of vaginal opening.
The penile flap is meticulous dissected to make the very narrow pedicle and the narrow clitoral hood can be fixed to the pubic symphisis to make a permanent hood. The tunica albuginia get a new design to act as the port of clitoral base to make it stay in midline.
The 9th is one of a perfect design that get the concept from the house building and foundation. We set the foundation first to the strong foundation area as periostium…..the uretral is set first instead of last ,then the valva , the hood and lateral wall of labia minor was set to the priosteum and stump of penile crus, Then the pile is complete , other structure will be attached to the pile.
With this concept we can control the external appearance of valve and it will stay in midline because the corresponse part of tissue will fix to the proper part of bone.
Anyway,some one might need the more aesthetic correction of the labia to be longer that can be done after 3 or 4 monthes.
