[Single-centre study on the benefits of pre-vaginoplasty therapeutic education].

Objectives: Therapeutic education has been investigated in various surgical contexts to assess its impact on outcomes and hospital stay duration. This retrospective observational study evaluates the benefits of therapeutic education in vaginoplasty, focusing on hospital stay duration, follow-up rate, and vaginal stenosis incidence.

Materials And Methods: This study included all patients who underwent vaginoplasty between October 2018 and April 2021.

Impact of vaginoplasty on sexual health and satisfaction in transgender women.

Background: Demand for gender-affirming surgery (GAS) is rising. The main objective of this surgery is the creation of a perineo-genital complex that appears and functions as femininely as possible, with a sensitive clitoris and a vagina capable of receptive intercourse. Penile skin inversion is currently regarded as the gold standard technique.

Latissimus dorsi breast reconstruction with or without implants: A comparison between outcome and patient satisfaction.

Background: The latissimus dorsi (LD) flap is largely used in breast reconstruction. The aim of this study is to evaluate and compare the advantage of the LD flap in association with an implant to that of LD flap in association with lipofilling to add additional volume following breast reconstruction by assessing the number of revision procedures, length of hospitalization, complication rate, and patient satisfaction.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study was performed to evaluate complication rate, number and type of revision procedures required, hospitalization time, and overall duration of the reconstructive process in patients undergoing LD breast reconstruction in our department between January 2012 and March 2015.

Intraoperative superficial inferior epigastric vein preservation for venous compromise prevention in breast reconstruction by deep inferior epigastric perforator flap.

Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze our technique of intraoperative venous compromise management based on conservation of the superficial inferior epigastric vein (SIEV), and to undertake a retrospective review of our series of breast reconstructions by deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap, followed by a review of other techniques reported in the literature.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective study involves 198 breast reconstructions by DIEP flap performed between January 2010 and September 2017. Our surgical technique is related in detail, with a focus on venous compromise management.

Postoperative complications of male to female sex reassignment surgery: A 10-year French retrospective study.

In primary male to female (MTF) sex reassignment surgery (SRS), the most frequent postoperative functional complications using the penoscrotal skin technique remain neovaginal stenosis, urinary meatal stenosis and secondary revision surgery. We aimed to retrospectively analyze postoperative functional and anatomical complications, as well as secondary procedures required after MTF SRS by penile skin inversion. All patients operated on for MTF SRS, using the inverted technique, from June 2006 to July 2016, were retrospectively reviewed.
