Management of the patient requesting transgender surgery

Research output: Contribution to journal › Comment/debate › peer-review

Abstract

Urologists in the United States may see a greater number of transgender or gender-variant patients in their practices due to changing legislation, insurance coverage, and greater social acceptance of transgender individuals. While gender-confirming surgeries should only be attempted by experienced reconstructive surgeons, patients may seek care from general urologists for orchiectomy and management of voiding dysfunction or other concerns that may be complicated by prior reconstructions.
