Abstract
Implantable apparatuses and method of implanting the apparatuses are disclosed that provide a person with a neopenis including a penile prosthetic implanted into a neophallus. The neopenis is situated anatomically in a position of that of a location for a penis of a natal male. The neopenis is suitable for penetrative intercourse.
Claims20
A neophallus implant comprising:
- a distal portion that is adapted for insertion into tissue of a neophallus to provide the neophallus with an erection adapted for penetrative intercourse;
- a first proximal portion and a separate second proximal portion;
- and
- a transfer joint having a distal end connected to the distal portion of the neophallus implant, a first proximal end connected to the first proximal portion of the neophallus implant, a second proximal end connected to the separate second proximal portion of the neophallus implant, with a body of the transfer joint extending between the distal end, the first proximal end, and the second proximal end;
- wherein the body of the transfer joint has a fixed bend that is adapted to orient the first proximal portion and the separate second proximal portion alongside a descending pubic ramus on either side of a pubic arch of a trans-male pelvis.

A method of implanting a penile prosthetic in a neopenis, the method comprising:
- providing a neophallus implant having a transfer joint connected between a distal portion and a first proximal portion, with the transfer joint having an angle that maintains the distal portion off of a longitudinal axis of the first proximal portion;
- forming a neophallus;
- inserting the distal portion into the neophallus and forming a neopenis;
- and
- securing the first proximal portion of the neophallus implant between muscle attached to a ramus of a trans-male pelvis and tissue.
2 more elements
A method of implanting a penile prosthetic in a neopenis, the method comprising:
- providing a neophallus implant having a transfer joint connected to an inflatable distal portion, a first proximal portion, and a second proximal portion such that the neophallus implant is a Y-shaped inflatable implant;
- forming a neophallus;
- inserting the inflatable distal portion into the neophallus;
- retaining the first proximal portion of the Y-shaped inflatable implant between muscle attached to a first ramus of a trans-male pelvis and first tissue superior to the muscle attached to the first ramus;
- retaining the second proximal portion of the Y-shaped inflatable implant between muscle attached to a second ramus of the trans-male pelvis and second tissue superior to the muscle attached to the second ramus;
- and
- engaging a fixed bend in the transfer joint with at least one of the first tissue and the second tissue and constraining movement of the Y-shaped inflatable implant.
