Vulvoplasty: Difference between revisions

'''Vulvoplasty''' (also called "zero depth vaginoplasty"<ref name="uwhealth">{{Cite web |title=Zero Depth Vaginoplasty (Feminizing Vulvoplasty) |work=University of Wisconsin Health |date= |access-date=22 February 2021 |url= https://www.uwhealth.org/reconstructive-surgery/zero-depth-vaginoplasty-feminizing-vulvoplasty/52834}}</ref>) is a type of surgery that uses skin and tissue from the patient's penis and scrotum to create a vulva (the exterior portion of a vagina, including clitoris and labia). Vulvoplasty does not create a vaginal canal, for that, a full [[vaginoplasty]] is required.<ref name="UofUtah">{{Cite web |title=Transfeminine Bottom Surgery |author= |work=University of Utah Health |date= |access-date=27 January 2021 |url= https://healthcare.utah.edu/transgender-health/gender-affirmation-surgery/vaginoplasty.php}}</ref>

Unlike vaginoplasty, the patient does not have to undergo hair removal procedures before a vulvoplasty.<ref name="crane">{{Cite web |title=Non-Binary Surgery |author= |work=Crane Center for Transgender Surgery |date= |access-date=22 February 2021 |url= https://cranects.com/non-binary-surgery/}}</ref><ref name="uwhealth" />
