Multidisciplinary emergent control of traumatic neovaginal bleeding after foreign-body insertion in the early postoperative period after gender-affirming vaginoplasty.

Although rates of postoperative bleeding after gender-affirming vaginoplasty are relatively low, it is imperative that this potentially life-threatening complication is recognized and managed quickly. This case highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to the management of neovaginal bleeding that was unable to be controlled intraoperatively by suture ligation.
