All You Need To Know About Scrotectomy
What is a Scrotectomy?
Scrotectomy involves surgically removing the scrotum, often along with removal of the testicles (orchiectomy) for transgender women or nonbinary people seeking gender affirmation. This delicate procedure reshapes the genital anatomy to be more aligned with your desired gender identity.
For those who may consider a vaginoplasty in the future, we don't recommend scrotectomy at this time. The scrotal skin can be very useful for crafting the vaginal canal during vaginoplasty surgery. However, there are still options if you change your mind down the road. Reconstructive Surgical Arts is a safe space for your transition journey.

Physical and Emotional Well-being
Gender affirming surgeries, including scrotectomy, can have a profound impact on the physical and emotional well-being of the individuals that seek them. These surgeries help align their bodies with their gender identity, reducing dysphoria and discomfort. By bringing harmony between their authentic selves and physical bodies, individuals often experience improved mental health and overall well-being.

Gender affirming surgeries, such as scrotectomy, can significantly enhance self-confidence. By aligning their bodies with their gender identity, individuals can present themselves authentically and feel greater self-assurance. This boost in self-confidence can positively impact various aspects of their lives, including relationships, work, and overall quality of life.
Improved Quality of Life
Gender affirming surgeries have been shown to improve the overall quality of life for many transgender individuals.
