Reliability of suprapubic pedicled phalloplasty to address genital gender‐affirming surgery in transgender men: A single‐center cohort analysis
Our evidence suggests that SPP is a reliable and technically accessible option for GGAS in transgender men, particularly when microsurgery is contraindicated. The technique offers the advantage of accommodating the patient's needs for urethral lengthening, simplifying the surgical process, and reducing operative times. While vascular complications may occur relatively frequently, they are mostly minor and can be managed with simple outpatient procedures.
