The gold standard for primary vaginoplasty in trans women is the penile skin inversion technique with scrotal skin graft, which allows for increased depth of the vaginal cavity.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Aims<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The assessment of vulvo-vaginoplasty outcomes utilizing penile skin inversion and scrotal skin graft in individuals assigned male at birth in the surgeon\u2019s learning curve involves evaluating aesthetics, functionality, and sexual aspects.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>A total of 76 individuals assigned male at birth were included in 2 French university hospitals from 2020 to 2022. They underwent vulvo-vaginoplasty following 8 key steps: scrotal skin excision; bilateral orchiectomy; dissection between the rectum, bladder, and prostate; penile dissection; clitoroplasty; urethroplasty; penile skin inversion with scrotal skin graft; labioplasty. The average follow-up period was 12.4\u00a0months, with participants averaging 35.7\u00a0years of age.

No complication was classified 4 or 5 in Clavien\u2013Dindo scale. Most early complications were related to issues in vulvar healing, which did not compromise long-term aesthetic results. Patients-reported satisfaction was 82% after the procedure.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Clinical implications<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Vulvo-vaginoplasty utilizing penile skin inversion and scrotal skin graft for individuals assigned male at birth is a reproductive surgery procedure that can be successfully performed by experienced urologist.

However, extrapolating long-term complications is challenging due to the relatively brief follow-up period. Additionally, there is a lack of self-reported sexual function data, and the scales used to assess patient-reported quality of life and urinary satisfaction are not specifically validated for transgender patients.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Vulvo-vaginoplasty utilizing penile skin inversion and scrotal skin graft for individuals assigned male at birth is a complex surgical procedure.
