INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: Patients with differences in sex development or intersex traits (DSD/I) struggle to find clinically competent care in adulthood. We sought to describe the surgical exposure of Urogynecology and Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery (URPS) fellows who had previously trained in ObGyn (URPS-Gyn) to patients with DSD/I and their interest in performing 18 relevant procedures. We hypothesized that most graduating fellows would not have had exposure to many of the surgeries.
METHODS: We administered a cross-sectional online questionnaire of graduating URPS-Gyn fellows from April to June 2021. Questions assessed procedural knowledge, training, and clinical interest.
RESULTS: Of 56 eligible URPS-Gyn fellows graduating in 2021, a total of 14 completed the survey. Twelve (86%) had heard about most procedures (14 out of 18 surgeries listed); however, there was heterogeneity in exposure to specific surgeries and self-reported preparedness to perform them. Respondents were more interested in performing procedures that they were prepared to perform. Only 6 out of 11 who responded to questions about beliefs in training felt that it was important for residents to receive training regarding surgeries for patients with intersex traits, and only 8 felt it important for fellows to receive this surgical training. Three anticipated seeing patients with intersex traits.
CONCLUSIONS: Graduating URPS-Gyn fellows expressed interest in performing surgeries to meet the needs of patients with DSD/I. However, respondents had heterogeneous exposure and self-assessments of their proficiency. URPS-Gyn providers may be key collaborators in providing care for the growing number of adults with DSD/I seeking care.
