The sensate neoclitoris

The clitoris can be made sensitive thanks to the arrangement of the blood and nerve supply to the head of the penis. This is separate from that to the skin, or the two cylinders of erectile tissue (the corpora) and a part of the sensitive tip of the penis can therefore be dissected out as an island flap, and used for the clitoris. This is shown in the diagram below, which shows the construction of a neoclitoris in a patient using the penoscrotal flap technique.

Like all flaps, the blood supply may fail, but a sensitive clitoris is produced in over 90% of cases.

A picture of this dissection taking place can be seen here.
