Abstract:
There are many reasons why transgender and gender diverse (TGD) patients may opt for genital gender affirming surgery. As the TGD population continues to grow, there is ongoing demand for competent providers who can not only perform these surgeries, but also provide long-term care for patients after surgery. As such, this article hopes to provide gynecologists and other healthcare providers with an overview of feminizing genital surgeries and a framework for delivery of comprehensive ongoing care, screening, and support.
