Background: To meaningfully understand outcomes of gender-affirming care, patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) that are grounded in what matters to individuals seeking care are urgently needed. The objective of this study was to develop a comprehensive PROM to assess outcomes of gender-affirming care in clinical practice, research, and quality initiatives (the GENDER-Q).
Methods: Internationally established guidelines for PROM development were used to create a field test version of the GENDER-Q.
Article Synopsis
- The text discusses the rising trend of gender-affirming surgeries for transgender and gender-diverse individuals, highlighting that some patients seek outcomes different from standard binary procedures.
- It introduces surgical techniques for less commonly performed procedures, such as phallus-preserving vaginoplasty and vagina-preserving phalloplasty, aiming to inform the medical community.
- The findings indicate that these customizable surgeries can better represent the identities of gender-diverse patients while potentially maintaining their desired sexual function.
Background: The role of allogeneic placental tissue (APT) in genital gender-affirming surgery (GAS) is not well understood. Penile inversion vaginoplasty (PIV), the most common genital GAS, often results in tissue healing- or wound-related complications, including scarring and neovaginal stenosis. Surgical reoperation and revision vaginoplasty are common.
