Abstract:
Complications after vaginoplasty surgery for the transgender woman exist. These adverse outcomes can be minor and easily treatable, whereas others are considered major events and require ongoing care. Adverse outcomes can be immediate or remote after surgery and include bleeding, hematoma, infection, delayed wound healing, neovaginal stenosis, visceral injury, and fistula. Patients may also experience pelvic floor disorders after surgery. Providers performing these surgeries and those providers caring for postoperative patients should be aware of the incidence of these complications and the treatment options that exist to manage them.
