Gender-affirming surgeries are used in the female-to-male transition process to create male genitals. There are two types of gender-affirming surgeries, metoidioplasty and phalloplasty. In both of these surgeries, a scrotoplasty can be considered as an additional surgery to add testicular implants. Some trans men and intersex or non-binary people who were assigned female at birth may choose to have a scrotoplasty to create a scrotum from existing tissue, as part of their Female-To-Male transition. Metoidioplasty involves modification of the clitoris into a penis. Generally, the clitoris is hormonally enlarged with testosterone, making it possible for it to be straightened and lengthened into a penis. Outcomes of this surgery include the ability to urinate while standing and retain sexual stimulation. Phalloplasty is the other type of surgery to create a penis, but utilizes skin from other areas of the body besides existing genitals. The most common part of the body used in this surgery is the forearm and has the same outcomes as a metoidioplasty. The addition of a scrotoplasty with implants is an optional procedure for individuals to choose based on their goals with their transition. Deciding if a scrotum meets their needs in their transition is a consideration for adding a scrotoplasty procedure.
