The requests for medically necessary surgical interventions for transgender individuals have steadily increased over the past several years. So too has the recognition of the diverse nature of this population. The surgeon relies heavily on the mental health provider to assess the readiness and eligibility of the patient to undergo surgery, which the mental health provider documents in a referral letter to the surgeon. The mental health provider explores the individual's preparedness for surgery, expectations, and surgical goals and communicates with the surgeon and other providers to promote positive outcomes and inform multidisciplinary care.
在过去几年中，对跨性别者进行医学必要手术干预的需求稳步增加。对这一群体多样性的认识也在增加。外科医生严重依赖心理健康服务提供者来评估患者接受手术的准备情况和资格，心理健康服务提供者会在给外科医生的转诊信中记录这些情况。心理健康服务提供者会探究个体对手术的准备情况、期望和手术目标，并与外科医生及其他医疗服务提供者沟通，以促进积极的手术结果并为多学科护理提供信息。
