As these surgeries continue to be performed, the surgical techniques continue to evolve. Phalloplasty, or the creation of a phallus, remains one of the most complex surgical endeavors in which a variety of factors influence surgical decision making. This article aims to present the lesser known and less frequently performed means of phalloplasty in gender affirming genitourinary reconstruction.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>A literature review of relevant articles, whether case series or more comprehensive, was performed to describe some of the more obscure and less frequently utilized flaps for phalloplasty.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The most performed or widely accepted technique is that of the radial forearm free flap, but numerous other options decorate the surgical landscape.

Ultimately, approaching this reconstructive puzzle with persistent creativity will unearth more reliable options in the
