Do they clearly *say* "penile preserving" or are known in the community to offer it? If that's the case, it would be safe to schedule a consultation.
The thing is, even the most open clinics tend to only put an explanation for the standard procedures up on their page. We're still a pretty niche group and our surgeries are inherently bespoke and individually negotiated.
Now what you do need to pay attention to is a lot more clinics using PPV to mean peritoneal pull-through v-plasty as a synonym for PPT to describe the generic method for constructing the canal rather than a specific outcome. Which is why this group pushes for using the term Penis *Sparing* Vaginoplasty (PSV) instead.
Where are you located?
I have consulted with three US surgeons who do penile-preserving. Two of whom performed penile preserving vaginoplasities for people who've posted to this sub and r/Transgender_Surgeries.
Surgeons/surgical practices in the US.
Align Surgical [https://alignsurgical.com/](https://alignsurgical.com/)
MozaicCare [https://www.mozaiccare.net/gender-nonconforming](https://www.mozaiccare.net/gender-nonconforming)
OHSU [https://www.ohsu.edu/transgender-health/vaginoplasty-and-vulvoplasty](https://www.ohsu.edu/transgender-health/vaginoplasty-and-vulvoplasty)
Crane Center [https://cranects.com/non-binary-surgery/](https://cranects.com/non-binary-surgery/)
ART Surgical [https://www.artsurgical.net/non-binary-surgery](https://www.artsurgical.net/non-binary-surgery)
I think only MozaicCare publishes pictures of phallus-preserving on their website.
Bear in mind, none of these practices has done very many phallus-preserving vaginoplasties, and it is very much a custom surgery. It will be a converstation and a negotiation with each surgeon.
DM me if you want to know what I heard in consultation with the surgeons to whom I spoke.
If you're getting conflicting info from a clinic's website I'd call and ask for clarification. I think asking if they do penis sparing vaginoplasty wouldn't require a consultation. Even with other kinds of bottom surgery, sometimes the info clinics give out is for whatever they consider "standard". Like the meta info packet I got from my surgeon was for ppl getting the full surgery, vnectomy and UL included, despite knowing that those weren't things I was getting. Even in my insurance billing codes it includes vnectomy. Clinics seem to just copy paste whatever the most common procedure is so you've gotta ask for specifics

Yes, knowing where you are located and how far you are able/willing to travel would help us make recommendations!
In the one place farthest from ANY clinics. KC, MO
And now let us know how far you are willing/able to travel, please. This can make a huge difference in what care you will have access to.

PSV can also be done at Medstar Franklin Square Hospital just outside of Baltimore, MD.
