NCT ID NCT04314141
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed study from a French hospital center surveyed 143 patients who had phalloplasty surgery between 2007 and 2018. Researchers collected data on surgical results, sexual quality of life, and patient satisfaction using questionnaires and medical records. The goal is to better understand outcomes and improve both surgical techniques and pre-surgery information for future patients.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help surgeons improve phalloplasty techniques and provide better information to future patients about what to expect.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial, so it won't directly change patient care. Results depend on patient recall and may not apply to all surgical methods.
