The effect of colpectomy on lower urinary tract function in transgender men.

In transgender men, effects of colpectomy on voiding function are unknown, except for the incidence rates of urinary tract infections and urinary retention. To provide insight into the effect of colpectomy on Lower Urinary Tract Function (LUTF) in transgender men. A retrospective chart review was conducted among transgender men who underwent colpectomy between January 2018 and October 2020.

Is It the Load That Breaks You or the Way You Carry It: How Demanding Is Endourology?

Surgical outcomes are dependent on multiple factors. Besides patient-related or procedure-related factors, several surgeon-related factors contribute to surgical outcomes. The Surgery Task Load Index (SURG-TLX) questionnaire helps to assess the impact of several stressors on the perceived demands of surgeons during surgery.

Comparison of surgical outcomes and urinary functioning after phalloplasty with versus without urethral lengthening in transgender men.

Phalloplasty in transgender men is performed with or without Urethral Lengthening (UL). To create clear expectations in the choice of UL, an overview and comparison of outcomes is useful. To provide and compare surgical outcomes and urinary functioning after phalloplasty with versus without UL in transgender men.

Perineal Cyst in Transgender Men: A Rare Complication Following Gender Affirming Surgery - A Case Series and Literature Overview.

Introduction: Genital gender affirming surgery (gGAS) is usually the final stage in the medical transition for transgender men and consists of creating a neophallus and neo-scrotum, with or without urethral lengthening(UL). To reduce the complication risks of UL, a mandatory colpectomy is performed prior to UL. Colpectomy is considered a complex surgery, which may lead to various perioperative complications.

Surgical outcomes and proposal for a treatment algorithm for urethral strictures in transgender men.

Objectives: To assess our results of surgical treatment for urethral strictures in transgender men, and to provide a surgical treatment algorithm.

Patients And Methods: A single centre, retrospective cohort study was conducted of transgender men who underwent surgical correction of their urethral stricture(s) between January 2013 and March 2020. The medical charts of 72 transgender men with 147 urethral strictures were reviewed.

Patient-Reported Outcomes After Genital Gender-Affirming Surgery With Versus Without Urethral Lengthening in Transgender Men.

Background: In our institution, genital Gender-Affirming Surgery (gGAS;phalloplasty or metoidioplasty) in transgender men is offered with or without Urethral Lengthening (UL).

Aim: The aim of this cross-sectional and retrospective study was to assess the effect of gGAS with or without UL on several Patient-Reported Outcomes (PROs), and to identify predictors of overall patient satisfaction at follow-up.

Methods: A self-constructed Patient-Reported Outcome Measure (PROM) was sent to transgender men who were ≥1 year after gGAS.

A Retrospective Cohort Study on Surgical Outcomes of Penile Prosthesis Implantation Surgery in Transgender Men After Phalloplasty.

Objectives: To assess surgical outcomes of penile prosthesis implantation in transgender men who underwent phalloplasty.

Patients And Methods: Transgender men who underwent penile prosthesis implantation after phalloplasty between January 1989 and September 2018 were retrospectively identified. A chart study was performed recording patient demographics, perioperative complications, and reoperations.
