A method of surgically providing a trans-male patient with a neopenis includes inserting an implantable penile prosthesis into an inverted vagina, where the implantable penile prosthesis includes a pair of malleable penile inserts inside an artificial tunica.

A kit of parts includes components implantable in a patient to adapt a neopenis of the patient for penetrative intercourse. The kit of parts includes an implantable support, an implantable penile prosthesis, and an artificial glans penis. When implanted, the implantable support orients the implantable penile prosthesis and the artificial glans penis in an anatomically natal penis position that is adapted for penetrative intercourse.

An implantable support implantable in a neophallus to support a neopenis includes a first tubular sleeve extending from a proximal end portion to a distal end portion; a first base coupled to the proximal end portion of the first tubular sleeve, where the first base is adapted to be secured to a pubic ramus of a pelvis; and a first opening formed in the first tubular sleeve, where the first opening communicates with a recess that is sized to receive an implantable penile prosthesis. The first tubular sleeve is adapted to provide the neophallus with an artificial tunica located between the recess and the neophallus of the neopenis.

A method of providing a person assigned female sex at birth with a neopenis includes forming a neophallus by inverting a wall of the vagina outside of a pelvis; and implanting a penile prosthetic into the neophallus.

Method of providing a person assigned female sex at birth with a neopenis

A method of surgically providing a person with a neopenis is described and includes forming a neophallus from an inverted vagina of the person.

Method of surgically providing a person with a neopenis

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.

Method of surgically providing a trans-male patient with a neopenis

A tool includes a brace and a hook. The brace includes two posts extending from a base portion. The two posts include a first post that is spaced a distance apart from a second post, with the first post disposed in a first plane and the second post disposed in a second plane that is not the same as the first plane. A side of the base portion opposite from the first post and opposite from the second post includes a recess formed in the base portion. The hook is connected to a handle. The hook has a first section attached to the handle, a second section that is curved to have a J-hook curvature configured for accessing an obturator foramen of the patient, and a third section including a tip. The tip of the hook is removably insertable into the recess formed in the base portion.

Tool useful for implanting a support in treating urinary incontinence in a patient

A method of treating prolapse of a vagina is provided by placing a reinforcing implant inside of the vagina. The method includes inserting a porous sheet of material inside of the vagina through a natural vaginal opening of the patient. The porous sheet of material is an implantable support that is adapted to integrate with tissue inside of the vagina to reinforce and support at least an apical portion of the vagina. The method includes maintaining the apical portion of the vagina in an anatomically natural position by supporting the porous sheet of material inside of the vagina relative to one of a sacrum and a ligament of the patient.

Method of treating prolapse of a vagina by providing an implant inside of the vagina

A method of treating prolapse of a vagina includes inserting a shell into the vagina; contacting a convex exterior apex of the shell with an interior apical portion of the vagina; and securing a first portion of an anchor to the shell and securing a second portion of the anchor to a ligament or a sacrum exterior to and separate from the vagina.

Method of treating prolapse of a vagina

An incontinence treatment system for a male patient includes a support, a brace attachable to the support, and an introducer provided to deliver an anchor through the support and into periosteum tissue over a pubic bone of the pelvis of the male patient. The brace includes a base portion, a first post extending from the base portion and a second post extending from the base portion. A first hanger is attached to an end portion of the first post and a second hanger attached to an end portion of the second post. A first slot is formed between the end portion of the first post and the first hanger and a second slot formed between the end portion of the second post and the second hanger. The hangers are insertable into pockets formed in a pair of longitudinal arms of the support.

Male incontinence treatment system

A system for treating pelvic organ prolapse includes a hollow shell, a net, and an anchor strap. The hollow shell has an apex, with an exterior surface of the apex shaped to conform to an interior apical portion of a vagina, and the apex includes a hole. The net is associated with the apex of the hollow shell such that the net is insertable inside the vagina and conformable with the interior apical portion of the vagina. The anchor strap has a length that configures a proximal portion of the anchor strap to be attachable to the hole in the apex of the hollow shell and a distal portion of the anchor strap to be attachable to a sacrum of a patient.

System for treating pelvic organ prolapse

A system for treating pelvic organ prolapse includes a shell and an anchor. The shell is made of biodegradable material that is insertable into a vagina. The shell has a convex exterior apex that is sized to contact an interior apical portion of the vagina. The anchor has a proximal portion that is attachable to the apex of the shell and a distal portion that is provided with a tissue fixation device that is attachable to tissue exterior the vagina such that the anchor and the shell combine to support and elevate the interior apical portion of a vagina.

System for treating pelvic organ prolapse including a shell and an anchor

A system for treating pelvic organ prolapse includes a plug, a skirt, and an anchor. The plug includes a base opposite an apex with the base wider than the apex. An exterior surface of the apex is shaped to conform to an interior apical portion of a vagina. The skirt is attachable to the plug and includes multiple pores that are sized to allow tissue of the interior apical portion of the vagina to grow through the skirt. The anchor has a proximal portion that is insertable through the vagina and the skirt for attachment to the apex of the plug. The anchor has a length that allows a distal portion of the anchor to be attached to a sacrum of a patient.

System and method for treating pelvic organ prolapse

A method of treating pelvic organ prolapse in a patient is provided. The method includes inserting a support device into a natural vaginal opening of the patient and placing the support device in contact with an interior apical portion of a vagina. The method additionally includes implanting an anchor in the patient and attaching a first end of the anchor to the support device and attaching a second end of the anchor to one of a sacrum and a ligament of the patient.
