The procedure included lengthening and straightening of the clitoris, urethral reconstruction, and scrotoplasty with implantation of testicular prostheses. Buccal mucosa graft was used in all cases for dorsal urethral plate formation and joined with one of the two different flaps: I\u2014longitudinal dorsal clitoral skin flap (49 patients) and II\u2014labia minora flap (158 patients).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Main Outcome Measurement<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Results were analyzed using Z-test to evaluate the statistical difference between the two approaches.
