Genital Gender Affirming Surgery

This book is structured to enhance the techniques of reconstructive surgeons of multiple different specialties who seek to develop a program in Genital Gender Affirming Surgery (gGAS). It also furthers the understanding and development of quality of life issues such as reproductive and sexual health. At the present time, there is no consensus regarding correct surgical technique for these procedures. Different approaches are made by different surgeons with differing specialties of surgery. This book fills a gap in identifying experienced surgeons and clinicians who share their knowledge of comparative anatomy and surgical technique with surgeons of other disciplines. The unique nature of this text will allow the surgeon to understand each step of these complex genital operations in both schematic detail and in real time. Additionally, this text will focus on up-to-date important factors in allied care to surgery. This will include preoperative, post-operative care, and other very important quality of life issues such as fertility preservation, sexuality, and psychological management.
