These discussions prior to surgery should be clearly expressed in a special informed consent that the patient should read and understand perfectly.
In this way making sure that the patient has a realistic expectation.
Given the irreversibility of these surgeries, this consent must be given in time so that each patient can read it calmly and if any doubt arises, it can be resolved before proceeding.

These are the criteria that must be met for a sex reassignment surgery:
- Persistent gender dysphoria, well documented (2 independent evaluations)

- Legal age
- If there is any medical or mental health condition, it must be well controlled

Procedures for the Treatment of Patients with Gender Dysphoria Male to Female
- Breast Surgery: Mammoplasty (implants / lipolifting)
- No genital or breast surgery: Facial Feminization, Liposuction, Voice Surgery, Buttock Implants
- Genital Surgery:
Vaginoplasty + Clitoroplasty and Vulvoplasty / Penectomy Orchiectomy: The creation of a neovagina, labia and clitoris using the skin of the penis and scrotum, at the same time bilateral orchiectomy is performed.
The difference of the vast majority of techniques that only use this skin we are performing the technique described by Proffesor Sava Perovic of Serbia, which uses the mucosa of the urinary duct (urethral mucosa) to form the roof of the neovagina.
This modification of the usual technique gives it a much more natural appearance and a much greater sensitivity since being a natural mucosa it provides permanent lubrication to the neovagina.

Total Phalloplasty: The last stage in the process of sex reassignment and consists in the creation of a fully functioning neofalo both for having relationships and for achieving standing urination from a free graft with an appearance that is closest to that of a normal penis.
It is a procedure that consists of 3 stages and each of them must be separated at least 6 months.
Metodoplasty: The procedure of sex reassignment from woman to man, in which the vaginal canal is closed (vaginectomy) and the formation of a neophallus using the clitoris (previously hypertrophied by hormone therapy) and the remodeling of the labia majora and smaller to form a scrotal bag, during this procedure testicular prostheses are implanted.
It is a procedure that is performed in a single stage and where you can create the appearance of a penis which is functional to achieve urination while the patient is standing.
For each of the procedures there are certain criteria that must be completed, we recommend reading the manual: Standards of Care for the Health of Transsexual, Transgender, and Gender Nonconforming People.
