According to various posts on the organization’s website, surgeons at Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU) are using medical robots to assist in vaginoplasty, the surgical construction of the vulva and vagina.
Mr. Orth gender program, Urology program and Reconstructive Urology referral center Each hospital boasts a large number of customers on their webpages, and Dr. Blair Peters, the surgeon leading the gender program, boasts that the gender surgery clinic has “the highest patient volume on the West Coast.” , said it could run two robot-assisted clinics.Vaginoplasty is being performed daily, according to recent reports report From Manhattan Institute’s City Journal. In addition to vaginoplasty, OHSU also offers phalloplasty (surgical construction of the penis), non-binary genital “disabling” surgery, and mastectomy.
Dubbed a “castration machine” by the City Journal, the vaginoplasty robot allows surgeons to build a vagina using internal tissue, replacing or complementing more common techniques that use existing male reproductive tissue. You can
“Robotic surgery is a sophisticated method of performing surgery inside the abdominal cavity without large incisions, and the approach allows the tissue inside the abdominal cavity to be used as part of the vagina,” says OHSU. employee said. explained In the 2021 video on OHSU’s YouTube channel.
“In addition to traditional penile inversion vaginoplasty, we also offer a robotic approach. In the robotic approach, the genitalia are created in the same way, but an incision is also made above the navel and in the lower back. OHSU surgeon Dr. Georani Di said in the same video. “And through these incisions, robotic instruments can be introduced. They are used to dissect the vaginal space between the bladder and the rectum. “We can also take tissue from the peritoneum to create the deepest part of the vagina. A robotic approach could be especially helpful for those with limited genital skin.”
OHSU Surgeon Dr. Blair Peters has spoken in several public interviews about vaginoplasty and the use of surgical robots, including on young patients. Peters acknowledged that genital surgery is being performed on adolescents, suggesting that medical professionals are still figuring out “what works”. video Published by Christopher Ruffo, Senior Fellow at the Manhattan Institute.

“As a profession, we perform a fairly high volume of genital gender-confirming surgery, and we may have done a few with a few young people whose adolescence is suppressed as a field. No one has announced that yet,” he said. “OHSU is just wrapping up the first series and we are learning and understanding what works. It’s changing… the way we’re dealing with it is with robots.”
In another clip, apparently from the same content, Peters spoke about concerns about the ethics of puberty blockers and juvenile genital surgery. interview. Adolescents who have medically suppressed puberty may not have enough genital tissue to create a vagina if they wish to have a vaginoplasty in their late teens, and lack of regular sexual experience. makes it difficult to adapt to the long-term required daily vaginal dilatation. Routine postoperative care.
“Some of the early challenges are getting the expansions to work on someone who’s probably 17 or 18 years old and didn’t have to involve the pelvic floor musculature. It’s tough,” he said.
Peters said it’s also difficult to assess the effects of surgery on sexual health because these young patients are sexually inexperienced.
“In many cases, there is little involvement of the genitals, such as self-stimulation or masturbation. Therefore, it is unbelievable that a person who has never been sexually experienced in their life would attempt to assess such things as sexual outcomes after surgery. There is really a baseline to compare against,” he said.
