- A first total penile reconstruction using a tubularized pedicled abdominal flap was reported in 1936.
- In the 1980s, the introduction of microvascular free flap transfers started a new era of reconstructive surgery, which had a great impact on phalloplasty
- Free Flap Phalloplasty is now the more common approach, though some surgeons and patients still prefer local flap techniques.
There are two groups of phalloplasty:
Pedicled Flap Phalloplasty:
- Pedicled groin flap
- Abdominal Phalloplasty
- Bird-Wing Abdominal Phalloplasty
- ALT Pedicled Flap
Free Flap Phalloplasty:
- RFF Phalloplasty
- MLD Phalloplasty
- Re-innervated Latissimus Dorsi Free Flap
- ALT Phalloplasty
- FFF Phalloplasty
