What is Simple Release Metoidioplasty?
Simple release metoidioplasty is one component of a more comprehensive gender affirmation surgery known as metoidioplasty. During a simple release, the ligaments surrounding the clitoris are cut, allowing the clitoris to extend further outside the body. This procedure is performed on patients whose clitoris has enlarged from the use of testosterone hormone therapy. The simple release alone does not create a neophallus or penis, but allows increased length and visibility of the hormonally enlarged clitoris.
Unlike a full metoidioplasty procedure, a simple release does not include creation of a scrotum or testicles, urethral lengthening, or vaginectomy. The vaginal canal remains intact. It is typically an outpatient procedure with a relatively quick recovery time compared to more complex affirmation surgeries.
