Gender Affirmation Surgery: Principles, Ethics, Concepts, and the Need for Multidisciplinary Approach
摘要
Gender-affirming surgery is a medically necessary intervention for many transgender and gender diverse people. A multidisciplinary approach facilitates patient care and helps optimize outcomes. Current surgical interventions for transgender men include chest surgery (i.e., mastectomy), genital surgery (including metoidioplasty and phalloplasty), facial masculinization, and other body contouring procedures. Gender-affirming surgeons should be well-versed in the operative techniques for each of these procedures.
