AbstractWe report on a patient who had undergone female-to-male transsexual surgery and subsequent phalloplasty by means of a free latissimus dorsi muscle graft with pudendal nerve coaptation elsewhere 10 years ago. The surgical strategy for implantation and osseous fixation of a penile prosthesis is described. We discuss whether the primary implantation of a penile prosthesis during 1-stage surgical phalloplasty is more advantageous in comparison with the currently favored secondary implantation. Phalloplasty should be represented by a 1-stage surgical procedure encompassing the creation of a neourethra, restoration of tactile and possibly erogenous sensibility, and implantation of a penile prosthesis. The result should have aesthetic value and be pleasing to the patient.
