Dr. '''Poppas is noted for his performance of nerve sparing clitoral reduction surgery on young [[intersex]] patients, which he has performed at least 51 times.<ref>{{REFjournal |last=Yang |first=Jennifer |init=J |author-link= |last2=Felsen |first2=Diane |init2=D |author2-link= |last3=Poppas |first3=Dix Poppas''' |init3=D |author3-link= |etal=no |title=Nerve sparing ventral clitoroplasty: Analysis of clitoral sensitivity and viability |trans-title= |language=English |journal=J Urol |location= |date=2007-10 |volume=178 |issue=4 pt 2 |pages=1598-601 |url=https://www.thestranger.com/images/blogimages/2010/06/16/1276740688-yang_felsen_poppas_2007.pdf |archived= |quote= |pubmedID=17707043 |pubmedCID= |DOI=10.1016/j.juro.2007.05.097 |accessdate=2020-07-04}}</ref>
Dr. Wheelus and Dr. Roenneburg have voiced extensive criticism of Dr. Poppas practice. They have suggested that his practice violates the federal law against female genital mutilation ([[FGM]]), that it is actually a return to the practice of [[clitoridectomy]].<ref>{{REFbook

Dreger & Feder (2010) criticized the follow-up study by Poppas of the sensation in the reduced [[clitoris]] that used a vibrator to stimulate the [[clitoris]] in order to determine the level of sensation.<ref name="dreger2010">{{REFjournal
