Collecting patient-reported outcomes data in transgender and gender diverse adults seeking surgery: barriers and facilitators from the patient perspective.

Purpose: Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) evaluate how patients feel and function. While several prior studies have explored barriers and facilitators to integrating PROM data collection in clinical workflows from patient perspectives, research on this topic remains limited for transgender and gender-diverse (TGD) patients seeking gender-affirming surgery. The objective of this qualitative study was to identify barriers and facilitators to collecting PROM data in TGD patients undergoing surgery from the patient perspective.

Moving to 3D: Quantifying Virtual Surgical Planning Accuracy Using Geometric Morphometrics and Cephalometrics in Facial Feminization Surgery.

Facial feminization surgeries (FFS) aim to feminize facial features in transgender women and include frontal sinus setback, rhinoplasty, and genioplasty. FFS may be performed with virtual surgical planning (VSP) to help generate reproducible and predictable results. However, quantification of changes is challenging because these changes often occur in multiple axes and dimensions that are not easily reduced to a single error metric.
