Vaginectomy


Trans Men Vaginectomy (Closed Vagina Surgery)
Vaginectomy, sometimes referred to as Closed Vagina Surgery (Female-to-Male surgery), is a gender-affirming procedure that removes the vaginal lining and closes the vaginal canal. For trans men, vaginectomy is also known as colpectomy, closed vagina, vaginal closure, or colpocleisis.
This procedure is often combined with other FtM surgeries such as metoidioplasty as part of gender confirmation surgery. In some cases, vaginectomy may also be performed at a later stage following metoidioplasty.
It is important for patients to have realistic expectations about what reconstructive surgery can and cannot achieve. At Preecha Aesthetic Institute, highly experienced surgeons such as Assoc. Prof. Dr. Preecha Tiewtranon, Dr. Burin Wangjiraniran, and Dr. Sutin Khounsongserm (Board-certified in Cosmetic & Reconstructive Surgery, Thailand) are well-positioned to guide patients through the decision-making process. An open and honest dialogue with your surgeon is essential to ensure clarity and avoid misunderstandings.
