He reduced M.C.’s penis to look more like a clitoris ([[Clitoroplasty]]), cut up his scrotum to form labia, and removed his internal testicle tissue ([[Orchiectomy]]). Two other specialists also treated M.C.: Dr. Yaw Appiagyei-Dankah, who worked at MUSC, and Dr. James Amrhein from Greenville Hospital.
