Of two groups of 20 patients accepted for gender reassignment surgery, one was offered early operation and therefore had had surgery by follow-up two years later, while the second was still awaiting operation at two-year follow-up. Although the groups were similar initially, significant differences between them emerged at follow-up in terms of neuroticism and social and sexual activity, with benefits being enjoyed by the operated group.
在两组接受性别重置手术的20名患者中，一组接受了早期手术，因此在两年后的随访时已经完成了手术，而另一组在两年随访时仍在等待手术。尽管两组最初情况相似，但在随访时，两组在神经质、社交和性活动方面出现了显著差异，接受手术的组从中受益。
