Video Summary

The video discusses vaginoplasty surgery, specifically the creation of a neovagina in transgender women. The penile inversion technique is commonly used, involving removal of penile structures and reconstruction to create a vulva and neovagina. The video emphasizes the importance of expert surgical skill and understanding of anatomy in performing this surgery correctly to avoid complications. It highlights the risk of rectoneovaginal fistula, the most severe complication, and provides statistics on its incidence. Post-surgery care includes neovaginal dilation, and failure to comply may result in vaginal stenosis requiring revision surgery.
