Sex reassignment surgery female-to-male

Sexual reassignment surgery from female to male includes surgical procedures which will reshape a female body into a body with a male appearance.

Genital reassignment

Genital reconstructive procedures (GRT) use either the clitoris, which is enlarged by androgenic hormones (Metoidioplasty), or rely on free tissue grafts from the arm, the thigh or belly and an erectile prostheses (Phalloplasty). The latter usually include multiple procedures, more expense and with a less satisfactory outcome, in terms of replicating nature.

In either case, the urethra can be rerouted through the phallus to allow urination through the reconstructed penis. The labia major (see vulva) are united to form a scrotum, where prosthetic testicles can be inserted.
