A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This research evaluates the evolution of perineo-pelvic anatomy in male-to-female transgender patients undergoing vaginoplasty using the peno-scrotal inversion technique. Participants will undergo static and dynamic MRI scans before surgery and at 6 and 24 months post-operation to monitor changes and the potential development of rectocele. The study aims to provide insights into the functional and aesthetic outcomes of this surgical approach, which is currently under-researched. Follow-up will include clinical assessments and questionnaires to gather comprehensive data on post-operative experiences.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance understanding of pelvic anatomy changes and improve surgical outcomes for transgender women undergoing vaginoplasty.

How similar studies have gone: While few studies have explored imaging in vaginoplasty, this prospective approach focusing on pelvic anatomy evolution is novel and has not been extensively tested.
