BACKGROUND: Penile inversion vaginoplasty is the current gold standard procedure for male-to-female transgender patients seeking gender-confirming genital surgery. Although complication data have been reported extensively in the literature, studies on patient-reported outcomes are sparse. This study aimed to report both postoperative complications and patient-reported outcomes from the largest cohort in the United States to date to undergo penile inversion vaginoplasty. Ultimately, the authors hoped to identify the predictors of postoperative complications and patient satisfaction. METHODS: A retrospective chart review of a single surgeon's experience with penile inversion vaginoplasty was performed from July of 2014 to June of 2016. Patient demographic data, postoperative complications, and patient-reported outcome data were collected. Data were correlated by binary logistic regression to determine predictors of postoperative complications and patient satisfaction. RESULTS: A total of 117 patients underwent penile inversion vaginoplasty. The most common complications were granulation tissue (26 percent), intravaginal scarring (20 percent), and prolonged pain (20 percent). Overwhelmingly, patients reported "feeling positively about their genitals" (94 percent) and "would do this operation again" (94 percent). Seventy-one percent of patients reported resolution of their gender dysphoria. The top predictors of patient dissatisfaction were intravaginal scarring, prolonged pain, excessive external scarring, loss of sensation, and hematoma/excessive bleeding. CONCLUSIONS: This is the largest study of penile inversion vaginoplasty in the United States to report on both postoperative complications and patient-reported outcomes. Despite moderate complication risk, patient satisfaction remains very high after penile inversion vaginoplasty, with the majority of patients reporting improvement of their gender dysphoria. CLINICAL QUESTION/LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Risk, III.
背景:阴茎反转阴道成形术是目前寻求性别确认生殖器手术的跨性别男性患者的金标准手术。尽管文献中广泛报道了并发症数据,但关于患者报告结果的研究却很少。本研究旨在报告迄今为止美国最大队列的术后并发症和患者报告结果,以进行阴茎反转阴道成形术。最终,作者希望确定术后并发症和患者满意度的预测因素。
方法:对 2014 年 7 月至 2016 年 6 月期间一位外科医生进行的阴茎反转阴道成形术经验进行了回顾性图表审查。收集了患者的人口统计学数据、术后并发症和患者报告的结果数据。通过二元逻辑回归对数据进行相关性分析,以确定术后并发症和患者满意度的预测因素。
结果:共有 117 名患者接受了阴茎反转阴道成形术。最常见的并发症是肉芽组织(26%)、阴道内瘢痕(20%)和疼痛持续时间长(20%)。绝大多数患者报告“对自己的生殖器感到满意”(94%)和“会再次接受这种手术”(94%)。71%的患者报告性别焦虑得到缓解。患者不满意的主要预测因素是阴道内瘢痕、疼痛持续时间长、外阴过度瘢痕、感觉丧失和血肿/过度出血。
结论:这是美国最大的阴茎反转阴道成形术研究,同时报告了术后并发症和患者报告的结果。尽管存在中度并发症风险,但阴茎反转阴道成形术后患者的满意度仍然非常高,大多数患者报告其性别焦虑症得到改善。
