Current State of Female-to-Male Gender Confirming Surgery

Abstract

Current advances in female-to-male gender confirming surgery allow for facial masculinization, chest masculinization, gynecologic removal of female sex organs, and genital reconstruction. With the breadth of approaches to each of these surgeries, it is important for providers as well as patients to be informed of the available options. In this review, the current state of female-to-male surgical approaches is discussed for the gender dysphoric patient who has typically initiated medical transition.
