Multidisciplinary emergent control of traumatic neovaginal bleeding after foreign-body insertion in the early postoperative period after gender-affirming vaginoplasty

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: As gender-affirming surgery becomes more widespread, it is important that healthcare providers recognize complications related to gender-affirming surgery. Although rates of postoperative bleeding after gender-affirming vaginoplasty are relatively low, it is imperative that this potentially life-threatening complication is recognized and managed quickly. This case highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to the management of neovaginal bleeding that was unable to be controlled intraoperatively by suture ligation.
