Problems and difficulties still exist such as reconstruction of the neo-urethra and the possible occurrence of fistulas and/or stenosis; restoration of tactile and erogenous sensitivity; cosmetic and functional results; rejection of the functional endoprosthesis.

The use of skin-expanders for clitoris expansion gender transforming operations is considered and the results analysed.
