    CHAPTER 1 Introduction

    On 12th May 2002 I was driving to Tampere-Pirkkala airport. My destination was Chonburi Thailand. I was going to go to Suporn Watanyusakul for having SRS and FFS. I had paid everything in advance, so I didn't have much cash with me...

    This site explains my story about my sex reassignment surgery in Thailand with Dr. Suporn Watanyusakul [MD]. I have divided the page into separate chapters. Click the proper chapter to jump directly into it or click here to begin reading the joyrney from the beginning. I was Dr. Suporn's first Finnish patient. I was at the time of the surgery 27 years old, but I had my 28th birthday before I returned to Finland, so the pictures etc. therefore state that they are showing a 28 years old Finnish patient.

    SUMMARY OF FEATURES:

    Technique advancement of the single-stage vaginoplasty with scrotal skin graft

    Clitoris from glans penis with intact sensory nerves and vessels

    Vestibule of Vagina between the Labia Minora from glans penis and prepuce of glans/penis with intact sensory nerves and vessels

    Labia Minora from prepuce of glans/penis with intact sensory nerves and vessels

    Labia Majora from scrotal skin

    Vaginal Wall from penile skin and scrotal skin

    Beginning 2002, the technique provides the aspects:

    (1) complete anatomic homology between the reconstructed neovagina and the natal female genitalia.

    (2) the glans penis or/and prepuce of glans/penis for the clitoris, vestibule of vagina, and labia minora. Sexual sensation (orgasmic capacity) is attained in these zones.

    (3) the fenulum which is below the clitoris and which is continued to both sides of the labia minora (as in genetic women).

    (4) the labia minora which are anterior enough to cover the clitoris, uretha, and vaginal cavity (as in genetic women).

    (5) pink or red colour of the inside of labia minora (as in genetic women).

    (6) non-hair bearing labia minora (as in genetic women) which have no suture lines (incision scars). The clitoris, clitoral hood, labia minora and majora are all placed on different (3-dimensional) depth planes (as in genetic women).

    (7) little or no hair at the vaginal opening (which can be treated after SRS). Genital electrolysis is not recommended.

    (8) maximum vaginal depth attained with the scrotal graft. A minimum of 6.0" (15.25 cm) vaginal depth is guaranteed immediately after SRS. The average is 7.0" (17.8 cm) depth. The best cosmetics and maximum depth are obtained if the patient has: (1) not been circumcised; (2) not had a bilateral orchiectomy; (3) not had genital electrolysis; (4) not been taking antiandrogens/hormones for more than a few years; and (5) is not overweight. In such cases, the maximum attained has been nearly 9.0" (22.9 cm) depth in 2002.

    With this technique, both the primary and secondary rectosigmoid colon vaginoplasty are obsolete - and these can be obtained only elsewhere in SRS.
