What is Penile Inversion Sensate Vaginoplasty and Clitoroplasty?
Penile inversion sensate vaginoplasty, often combined with clitoroplasty, is a widely recognized and effective procedure for transwomen seeking gender affirmation.

FAQs for Penile Inversion Sensate
Penile inversion surgery involves several intricate steps. Initially, the penile and scrotal skin is dissected and inverted to create the vaginal canal. The urethra is shortened, and the tip is positioned to allow for urination. Labia are constructed from the remaining skin, and a neo-clitoris is formed to preserve sexual sensation. The surgery aims to provide a natural-looking and functional neovagina, often taking several hours to complete.
The first month after penile inversion surgery is critical for recovery. Patients typically stay in the hospital for a few days, during which they are closely monitored. Swelling and discomfort are common, and pain management is provided. Patients will need to start a dilation routine to maintain the vaginal canal’s depth and width, which involves inserting a medical dilator several times a day. It’s essential to follow the surgeon’s aftercare instructions carefully to ensure proper healing.
Some patients may require follow-up procedures after penile inversion surgery to address any complications or to refine the initial results. This might include revisions to improve the aesthetic appearance, adjustments to the neovagina’s depth, or treatments to address issues like narrowing of the vaginal canal (stenosis). Regular follow-ups with your surgeon are crucial to monitor healing and address any concerns promptly.
Penile inversion surgery is designed to preserve sexual sensation by creating a sensate neo clitoris using tissue from the glans penis. Many patients report satisfaction with their sexual function post-surgery, experiencing sexual pleasure and orgasm. However, sexual function can vary based on individual factors, including nerve sensitivity and overall health. Open communication with your surgeon about your goals and concerns can help set realistic expectations.
Choosing the right surgeon for penile inversion surgery is a crucial decision. Look for a board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience in gender-affirming surgeries. Review their credentials, ask about their surgical outcomes, and request before-and-after photos of previous patients. Scheduling a consultation to discuss your goals and concerns can help you gauge the surgeon’s expertise and compatibility with your needs. Dr. Meghana Bagalkotkar, for instance, is known for her meticulous approach and personalized care, ensuring each patient feels supported throughout their journey.
