Editorial Comment on "Urethral outcomes of the labia minora ring flap for metoidioplasty and phalloplasty" The authors present their experience performing a standardized labia minora ring flap for urethral lengthening during metoidioplasty and phalloplasty. The overall volume (n=311) was impressive, and rates of urethral stricture were low (6% for metoidioplasty and 18% for phalloplasty). When considering alternative approaches to urethral lengthening, one should consider the complexity of the reconstruction (e.g. more dissection/mobilization/suture lines) with the goals of the procedure and risks of complications.
