A Retrospective Cohort Study on Surgical Outcomes of Penile Prosthesis Implantation Surgery in Transgender Men After Phalloplasty.
This study attempted to assess the surgical outcomes of penile prosthetic implants by looking at the frequency of complications and reoperations occurring in various types of phalloplasty. The researchers recommend that patients should be better informed about these complications and their rates.
The Transgender medical papers page is a thorough compendium of up-to-date trans-specific research with a high quality of evidence, as well as guides on ways to access them or find more.
