Abstract

Volume 150, Number 2 • Letters 483e in the former may be a traumatic and psychologically harmful event that may mentally hinder sensation pathways even with neophallus reconstruction. Conversely, transgender men willingly undergo genital transformation and often experience feelings of relief and happiness as a result of their transformation.The article by Calotta et al. highlights the critical topic of neogenital sensitization. We hope the explanations and innovative ideas proposed here may provide clarity in some of their findings and offer better sensitization outcomes for the future of genital gender affirmation surgery.
