Metoidioplasty
No Urethral Lengthening
Comment about No Urethral Lengthening: You have opted to avoid urethral lengthening. This means you will continue to pee the way you do now (either sitting without a device, or standing with a device).
Once we do a metoidioplasty without urethral lengthening it is extremely difficult/impossible to go back and do urethral lengthening later. There is a strip of mucosa between your natural urethra and the tip of your phallus that we roll into a urethra with urethral lengthening. When we do a metoidioplasty without urethral lengthening we have to remove that strip of tissue, otherwise it will form a mucous ball or abscess later. Still, many people opt to skip urethral lengthening for simplicity.
