Summary

This study tests whether a special polymer (PEG) applied during phalloplasty surgery can help nerves heal faster and restore feeling. About 30 transmasculine adults will receive the treatment. The goal is to improve both touch and sexual sensation, which often leads to regret and ongoing distress after current surgery.
