Surgical outcomes, motivations, sexuality, and urinary function of metoidioplasty with semi-rigid prosthesis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Preliminary results of a specific semi-rigid prosthesis for metoidioplasty (ZSI^® 100D4; Zephyr Surgical Implants, Geneva) have been reported, suggesting a safe procedure that may enhance the metoidioplasty outcomes by stiffening and increasing protrusion of the constructed neo-phallus.

Aim

The objective of the present study was to report the updated surgical results of metoidioplasty with implantation of the ZSI^®100D4, along with a comprehensive evaluation of the outcomes including, motivations, sexuality, and urinary function.

Methods

All individuals who underwent a metoidioplasty with implantation of the ZSI^®100D4 between August 2017 and January 2021 with at least 1 year of follow-up were included and their data retrospect
