Gender-Affirming Surgery
Gender-affirming surgery (also referred to as sex reassignment surgery or gender confirmation surgery) is an important component of medical care for transgender individuals. These procedures aim to align a person’s physical characteristics with their gender identity, thereby improving psychological well-being, social integration, and overall quality of life.
The decision to undergo gender-affirming surgery is the result of a thorough and carefully considered process that includes medical, psychological, and social aspects.
We offer a broad spectrum of surgical procedures for both feminization and masculinization, tailored to the individual needs and goals of each patient.
Our multidisciplinary team of urologists, plastic surgeons, endocrinologists, and psychologists supports patients with comprehensive, sensitive, and individualized care at every stage, from preoperative assessment to long-term postoperative follow-up.
Preoperative Assessment and Preparation
- Detailed medical history and comprehensive clinical examination to assess surgical readiness
