For the first time, an Israeli surgeon has received the right to perform phalloplasty operations

For the first time, an Israeli surgeon received the right to perform phalloplasty operations – the surgical formation of the phallus. The Mako website notes that until now transgender people have been forced to travel abroad. Costs for surgery, hospitalization, flights and accommodation abroad could reach tens of thousands of dollars.

Dr. Ehud Flis, head of the department of gender surgery at the Ichilov Hospital, completed his specialization at the Mount Sinai Hospital in New York. In an interview with the N12 news service, he said that the first patients were already booked for June. According to him, phalloplasty is fundamentally more complicated than the operation already mastered in Israel to shape the female genital organs, which is carried out by three specialists in various clinics in the country.
