Phallic
construction is one of the most challenging procedures in
reconstructive surgery. At our center we use a
multi-disciplinary approach which includes urologists, plastic
surgeons, gynecologists, endocrinologists and other experts. The
purpose of this review is to discuss the history of phallic
construction that has led to current techniques of phalloplasty. These
will be briefly outlined in order to address some of the most recent
indications for phallic construction, which include the procedure’s
use in trauma patients, in patients with congenital anomalies, and in
transgender patients. Discussed are
our results in each patient subcategory.
