Nullification

Nullification removes external genitalia while preserving a urethral opening and anal opening.

​

If the patient was born with a penis, the penis will be removed in addition to both testicles and the scrotum.  The penile/clitoral nerves can be preserved under the skin or they can be removed, depending on the patient's goals.  The urethra is shortened to the base of the pre-existing penis.

​

If the patient was born with a vagina, the vagina will be removed in addition to the clitoris and labia.  The skin edges will meet at the original urethral opening.​
