Abstract:
Increased advocacy efforts and expanded third-party insurance coverage have improved access to healthcare for transgender individuals. In conjunction with mental health and medical professionals, gender surgeries offer an important step in allowing individuals to realize their true selves. To provide quality multidisciplinary care, primary care doctors need to understand challenges facing transgender individuals and treatment options available to them. In this article, we will review the role of the surgeon and the goals of various gender confirming surgeries. In addition, we will provide an overview of the available surgical options.
