Abstract:
Gender-affirming surgeries (GASs), previously known as gender reassignment surgeries, are surgical procedures born from plastic and reconstructive surgery, colorectal surgery, urology, and gynecology. A multidisciplinary approach is essential for the care of transgender patients. The urologist plays a vital role, both in the perioperative period and as part of continued care. This publication will review the current concepts of genital GAS as it pertains to the practicing urologist. The most utilized surgical techniques will be described along with their notable complications and management options.
