PEG-based help during phalloplasty nerve repair
Treatments studied
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests whether adding a substance called polyethylene glycol (PEG) helps nerves heal better during phalloplasty. It may improve how well the repaired nerves work after surgery for some people.
