Transgender Surgery: Female-to-Male
Definition
Transgender surgery, specifically female-to-male (FTM) surgery, is a set of medical procedures performed to align an individual's physical appearance and function with their gender identity. These surgeries may include mastectomy (removal of breast tissue), hysterectomy (removal of the uterus), oophorectomy (removal of the ovaries), and phalloplasty or metoidioplasty (construction of male genitalia).
