Abstract
The aim of this study is to thoroughly report on surgical outcomes, quality of life (QoL), lower urinary tract function, sexual health and sexual desire from four patients who underwent male to female (MTF) sex reassignment surgery (SRS) using the Sava Perovic technique, between 2011 and 2015 in the San Ignacio Teaching Hospital, Bogotá, Colombia. Two questionnaires designed by a multidisciplinary group of experts in sex reassignment surgery and gender dysphoria were used to assess lower urinary tract function and sexual health. It was found that the 4 MTF transexuals who underwent SRS had a good QoL, their lower urinary tract function was not compromised, and none of them referred to any kind of incontinence. The sexual health results were not as promising as in QoL and lower urinary tract function, despite saying they were happy with the surgical outcomes and were able to reassume their life.
