Conditions

  • Gender Dysphoria, Adult
  • Vaginoplasty

Eligibility Criteria

Sex
MALE
Age
18 Years - N/A
Healthy Volunteers
Not accepted

Interventions

  • Use 3D printed patient specific models for patient education — OTHER
    To use 3D printing to generate patient-specific models of abdominal and pelvic anatomy to educate patients about the procedure, including risks, benefits, and potential complications.

Study Details

The project aims to address both clinical and relational gaps in transgender surgical care by improving understanding, communication, and outcomes through this novel integration of personalized 3D technology. The hypothesis is that using 3D models of patient specific anatomy will enhance patient understanding and education into how peritoneal vaginoplasty is done, while also improving surgical planning and therefore outcomes by decreasing OR time and reducing complication rates. The investigators seek to foster stronger physician-patient relationships by improving communication and shared decision-making, ultimately helping transgender patients feel more empowered, engaged, and willing to seek care in the future.
