Аннотация
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review summarizes recent developments in gender affirmation surgery, imaging findings in patients undergoing these surgeries, focusing on common postoperative radiologic appearances, complications, and pitfalls in interpretation.
RECENT FINDINGS: The imaging workup of masculinizing and feminizing genitourinary surgeries uses multiple modalities in presurgical planning and within the immediate and long-term postoperative period. CT and MRI can help identify immediate and remote postoperative complications. Fluoroscopic examinations can diagnose postoperative urethral complications after gender affirmation surgeries. Lastly, the patients can undergo imaging for unrelated acute and chronic pathology, and knowledge of these imaging findings can be very helpful. Imaging plays a significant role in the care of transgender patients and, particularly, in those pursuing gender affirmation surgery. As insurance coverage expands for these surgical procedures, radiologists should be prepared to encounter, understand, and interpret pre and postoperative findings.
