Contents 1 Suporn technique 2 Merges of content from Neovaginoplasty, Coloplasty and Penile inversion 3 Dr.Chettawut Tulayaphanich and use of scrotal skin 4 WikiProject class rating

[edit] Suporn technique

I've linked to suporn technique and redirected that to Suporn until it gets defined, and put a stub under his name. It's a bit confusing, because it doesn't mention him having any unique techniques. Does he do something different than the previous two? Tyciol 19:32, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merges of content from Neovaginoplasty, Coloplasty and Penile inversion

I have merged the content from these three articles, and made each a redirect to Vaginoplasty. I don't see any need for four separate articles on the different forms of vaginoplasty. There is not enough information on each to constitute their own article. If each section becomes so large as to require its own article, that would be the appropriate time to break it out, not preemptively.

That said, help with cleaning up the References section would be useful. I removed the following sentence from the section now called Techniques for male-to-female transsexual patients:

(need ref. to Journal Urology articles from pubmed)

I'm not sure what is meant by this.

Also, the entire article is choppy and it would greatly benefit from the help of any knowledgeable person. I welcome polite suggestions and input on these changes. Joie de Vivre 17:36, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dr.Chettawut Tulayaphanich and use of scrotal skin

Dr Chet in Thailand seems to use a method that is neither Penile inversion or colon vaginoplasty. He quotes from his site (http://www.chet-plasticsurgery.com) that he uses scrotal skin to line the neo-vagina while using the skin from the penis itself in the construction of labia. Is it just me getting confused here or is this really a different technique to those described? On his FAQ page he does say that it is not penile inversion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.130.189.66 (talk) 09:54, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
