Metoidioplasty

A surgical procedure (or a number of surgical procedures) pursued by some transgender people with clitorises intended to create a new penis, known as a “neophallus,” out of preexisting genital tissue.

Some metoidioplasty procedures may use skin grafts to link the urethra with the neophallus (Healthline, 2019).
