Department of Ophthalmology, Stanford University, Byers Eye Institute, Palo Alto, California. Electronic address:
Well-known risk factors for anterior segment ischemia (ASI) following strabismus surgery include ipsilateral surgery on three or more rectus muscles, older age, and vasculopathy. ASI is rarely reported in young patients following uneventful strabismus surgery on two ipsilateral rectus muscles. We report a 30-year-old transgender female on long-term estrogen therapy who underwent strabismus surgery involving recessions of both lateral rectus muscles, the right inferior rectus muscle, and the left superior rectus muscle.

Objectives: The authors sought to evaluate whether three-dimensional (3D) stereophotogrammetry accurately measures transfeminine breast volume changes on a masculine frame when simulating anticipated changes in soft tissue after gender-affirming surgical therapy. Then, we describe the innovative application of this imaging modality in a transgender patient to illustrate the potential role of 3D imaging in gender-affirming surgical care.

To the Editor, The first uterus transplantation (UTx) to be successfully carried out in Italy occurred at the Transplant Center of the Policlinico di Catania, on 21st August 2020. The patient, a 30-year-old woman with absolute uterine factor infertility (AUFI) due to Rokitansky syndrome, is now set to undergo a medically assisted reproductive procedure aimed at implanting her own oocytes, which had been stored via cryopreservation, following in vitro fertilization. Only UTx from deceased donors has been approved in Italy, although most UTx attempts and live births worldwide have been achieved from live donors, mostly closely related to the recipient (1).
