Abstract

Gender reassignment surgery plays an important role in relieving the physical, emotional and psychological, discomfort of individuals with gender dysphoria. The collaborative effort between the surgeon, behavioural scientist, and a medical physician, endocrinologist is recommended. The surgery can be performed with good outcomes and a low rate of complications. We report a case of gender reassignment surgery in a 32 year old karyotypic male with androgen insensitivity syndrome and brought up as a female since birth.
