Sex Reassignment Surgery

The operation to transform from a woman to a man or a man to a woman is called a sex reassignment surgery.Every person can’t have this operation.In order for the operation to be performed, the person must be 18 years of age, the gender change is obligatory in terms of mental health and there is a hospital report that he / she is deprived of the reproductive feature, and the court decision and singular status are required.

Penetration of the penis and testes in the transformation from man to woman is done by the urologist.It is more difficult to transform into a woman than a man because a new organ, a penis, must be made.For women who want to transformto male, two methods are used for the penis.For the creation of penis, both soft and hard tissue is needed.A piece of skin from the inner surface of the patient arm is used to create the soft tissue.For hardening, a hard substance must be placed in this soft tissue.For this, ajoystick, penis prosthesis or a small piece of bone is used.The penis prosthesis is bendable.  At a normal time it stays in a bent position and when the person wants to have a sexual relationship, he presses a button to move the penis into an upright position.In addition, there areprostheses which have pump function.When the button under the testicles is clicked, the penis is both elongated and thickened.The other method used to ensure the hardness of the penis is a bone fragment taken from the tibia.In this case, the penis staysalways at upright position.

In the transformation from man to woman,  there are two options in creation of vagina. These are part of the penis skin or intestine.

After the testicles are removed, the skin of the penis is swollen from the bottom to the tip.The remaining soft tissue is placed under the skin of the groin.Then the vagina structure is usually covered with the skin of the penis.However, the most important disadvantage of this condition is dryness during sexual intercourse.Therefore, an intestinal part of the intestine is used in vagina production. Dryness cannotseeby this method.
