== Method ==
{{See also|Penectomy|Orchiectomy}}There are several different methods of emasculation. Both the penis and testicles may be removed simultaneously using a sharp instrument, such as a knife or razor or swords.{{Sfnm|1a1=Chen|1a2=Reyblat|1a3=Poh|1a4=Chi|1y=2019|1p=191|2a1=Lipshultz|2y=1980|2pp=169–170|3a1=van der Sluis|3a2=Steensma|3a3=Bouman|3y=2020|3p=176}}{{Sfnm|1a1=Bellringer|1y=2017a|1p=249|2a1=Chiang|2y=2012|2pp=30–31, 46|3a1=Dale|3y=2010|3pp=40–41|4a1=Engelstein|4y=1997|4p=6|5a1=Hossain|5y=2012|5pp=40–41}} Non-crushing vascular clamps may also be used in medical surgery to cut off blood circulation and reduce bleeding.{{Sfn|Samm|Steiner|1999|pp=393–396}}

Alternatively, the penis and testicles may be removed during a series of stages. Medical surgeons use this method when performing surgery on [[Trans woman|trans women]] who want their genitals removed over multiple [[Sex reassignment surgery (male-to-female)|sex reassignment surgeries (male-to-female)]], rather than in a single operation.{{Sfnm|1a1=Bellringer|1y=2017a|1p=250|2a1=Bellringer|2y=2017b|2p=210|3a1=van der Sluis|3a2=Steensma|3a3=Bouman|3y=2020|3p=177}} In these surgeries, the tissue is used and re-shaped into the neo-vagina and vulva.
