Nullification
Nullification removes external genitalia while preserving a urethral opening and anal opening.
If the patient was born with a penis, the penis will be removed in addition to both testicles and the scrotum. The penile/clitoral nerves can be preserved under the skin or they can be removed, depending on the patient's goals. The urethra is shortened to the base of the pre-existing penis.
If the patient was born with a vagina, the vagina will be removed in addition to the clitoris and labia. The skin edges will meet at the original urethral opening.
