Indications for penile allotransplantation for patients wishing to undergo gender affirmation surgery have yet to be elucidated, but technical lessons for feasibility can be gleaned from penis transplants that have already been performed on cisgender males to date.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Methods\u2003This study investigates the theoretical feasibility for penile-to-clitoral transplantation, prior penile transplants, and current multidisciplinary gender affirmation health care modalities.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Results\u2003Penile allotransplantation offers a potential solution for individuals in the TGNB community for a more aesthetic penis, improved erectile function without the need of a prosthesis, optimal somatic sensation, and improved urethral outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Conclusion\u2003Questions remain about ethics, patient eligibility, and immunosuppressive sequelae.
