In providing care to transgender patients, surgeons interact with health care providers of other disciplines, including medical and mental health providers. Mental health or medical providers often see a patient first, when hormones are initiated. The Standards of Care recommend that mental health professionals assess patients for surgery according to set criteria and send surgeons their evaluations prior to surgery. Open communication is essential between surgical, medical, and mental health providers as well as with patients, who must give informed consent. A patient's multidisciplinary team can continue to provide care across a patient's life span.
在为跨性别患者提供护理时,外科医生会与其他学科的医疗服务提供者互动,包括医学和心理健康服务提供者。当开始使用激素时,心理健康或医学服务提供者通常会首先接诊患者。《护理标准》建议心理健康专业人员根据既定标准对患者进行手术评估,并在手术前将评估结果发送给外科医生。外科、医学和心理健康服务提供者之间以及与必须给予知情同意的患者之间进行开放沟通至关重要。患者的多学科团队可以在患者的整个生命周期内持续提供护理。
