A Systematic Review of Patient Regret After Surgery- A Common Phenomenon in Many Specialties but Rare Within Gender-Affirmation Surgery
Regret after gender-affirming surgery (GAS) is a complex issue. Comparing regret after GAS to regret after plastic surgery operations and other major life decisions is a novel approach that can provide insight into the magnitude of this issue.
A systematic review of three databases was conducted to investigate regret after common plastic surgery operations. Three separate literature reviews on regret after GAS, regret after elective operations, and regret after major life decisions were performed.
A total of 55 articles examining regret after plastic surgery were included. The percentage of patients reporting regret ranged from 0-47.1% in breast reconstruction, 5.1-9.1% in breast augmentation, and 10.82-33.3% in body contouring. In other surgical subspecialties, 30% of patients experience regret following prostatectomy and up to 19.5% following bariatric surgery. Rate of regret after GAS is approximately 1%. Other life decisions, such as having children and getting a tattoo have regret rates of 7% and 16.2%, respectively.
When comparing regret after GAS to regret after other surgeries and major life decisions, the percentage of patients experiencing regret is extremely low.
Maybe they should include forced gender assignment surgery on intersex people, if they need to get the regret percentage up. Oh, but wait, that kind of gender surgery is A-OK, as it involves forcing people against their will.
Itâs not because of any unfair advantage, itâs because they donât want any challenges to traditional violence.
Funny how they donât seem to be so worried about trans men, despite the fact many are doing quite well in their sports. Itâs almost like oneâs assignment at birth isnât really connected to sports prowess after all.
It could result in young people being forced to medically detransition.
Do they want to stop hormones in the middle of treatment??? That sounds incredibly stupid, medically speaking.
It doesnât matter to them. They donât want trans people to exist.
Using high unemployment to justify more discrimination:
Sheâs an evil piece of shit. Fucking justifying further discrimination because trans people face discrimination.
