Abstract: A Comparison of Epitendinous Repair Techniques for Flexor Tenorraphy

METHODS: Phalloplasty aesthetic subunits were defined and subunit measurements and ratios were examined. A split testing-based questionnaire was distributed to medical personnel and online forum users to determine the preferred aesthetic ideals based on phallic subunits. Digitally-altered photos focusing on varying ratios of the shaft, glans, corona, and frenulum were presented to participants who were instructed to choose the image that was most aesthetically pleasing. Respondent demographics were collected, including age, sex, medical background, and sexual orientation. A chi-squared analysis was used to compare binary values.
