Gender dysphoria (GD) is an incompatibility between biological sex and personal gender identity; individuals harbor an unalterable conviction that they were born in the wrong body, which causes personal suffering. In this context, surgery is imperative to achieve a successful gender transition and plays a key role in alleviating the associated psychological discomfort. In the current study, a retrospective cohort, we report the 20-years outcomes of the gender-affirming surgery performed at a single Brazilian university center, examining demographic data, intra and postoperative complications. During this period, 214 patients underwent penile inversion vaginoplasty. Results demonstrate that the average age at the time of surgery was 32.2 years (range, 18-61 years); the average of operative time was 3.3 h (range 2-5 h); the average duration of hormone therapy before surgery was 12 years (range 1-39). The most commons minor postoperative complications were granulation tissue (20.5 percent) and introital stricture of the neovagina (15.4 percent) and the major complications included urethral meatus stenosis (20.5 percent) and hematoma/excessive bleeding (8.9 percent). A total of 36 patients (16.8 percent) underwent some form of reoperation. One hundred eighty-one (85 percent) patients in our series were able to have regular sexual intercourse, and no individual regretted having undergone GAS. Findings confirm that it is a safety procedure, with a low incidence of serious complications. Otherwise, in our series, there were a high level of functionality of the neovagina, as well as subjective personal satisfaction.
性别焦虑症(GD)是生物性别与个人性别认同之间的不匹配;个体坚信自己出生时就处于错误的身体中,这种信念无法改变,从而导致个人痛苦。在这种情况下,手术对于成功的性别转变至关重要,并且在减轻相关的心理不适方面起着关键作用。在本项回顾性队列研究中,我们报告了巴西一所大学中心进行的性别确认手术20年的结果,研究了人口统计学数据、手术中和术后并发症。在此期间,214例患者接受了阴茎倒置阴道成形术。结果表明,手术时的平均年龄为32.2岁(范围为18 - 61岁);平均手术时间为3.3小时(范围为2 - 5小时);手术前激素治疗的平均持续时间为12年(范围为1 - 39年)。最常见的术后轻微并发症是肉芽组织(20.5%)和新阴道阴道口狭窄(15.4%),主要并发症包括尿道口狭窄(20.5%)和血肿/出血过多(8.9%)。共有36例患者(16.8%)接受了某种形式的再次手术。我们系列中的181例(85%)患者能够进行正常性交,且没有个体后悔接受性别确认手术。研究结果证实这是一种安全的手术,严重并发症的发生率较低。此外,在我们的系列中,新阴道的功能水平较高,患者个人主观满意度也较高。
