Prostate Removal in SRS Surgery: What You Need to Know

In male-to-female gender affirming surgery (SRS), also known as vaginoplasty, the removal of the prostate gland is not a necessary or standard part of the procedure. This surgery focuses on creating a functional female genitalia, which involves the construction of a vagina and, in some cases, additional procedures such as labiaplasty, clitoroplasty, and vaginoplasty. However, the prostate gland is typically left intact.

It's essential to discuss the details of individual SRS procedures with a qualified and experienced gender affirming surgeon for accurate and personalized information. Variations in surgical techniques may require specific considerations based on personal needs and surgical approaches.
