clitoroplasty
Clitoroplasty is a term for the surgical creation of a clitoris, in transsexual and transgender women (as part of sex reassignment surgery), or restoration in the case of procedures reversing the damage caused by female genital cutting. Women and girls with Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia may also undergo this to correct clitoral size in accordance to the female anatomy or complications of the condition. The most common method in practice, is to separate the penile glans from the paired erectile tissues, and reduce in size to simulate that of a cis-woman's.
