I could weep.

4th Wave Now are also following botched surgeries by a different doctor, this one in the U.S.

It appears botched phalloplasties are the norm, not the exception. How could they not be? It is such a brutal proceedure.

I too can't believe that any doctors are still doing this given its tiny success rate. Sad

Why are drs even doing this surgery.

What benefit is it to anyone ..its not a oenis . It offers no sexual pleasure beyond having your arm stoked. Which is annoying not sexually pleasurable. It does nothing. It achieves nothing.

The risks clearly far outweigh any benefit what so ever.

Why is it even an option.

Sad

It breaks my heart that kids are being told that gender reassignment is easy and causes no harm. Basically they are being sold a fairy tale promise that no surgeon can deliver. Sad

How can he have pain in his left calf if his left leg was amputated above the knee? Unless it was phantom limb pain. Whatever, it's a totally horrendous story.

I read the complication rate of phalloplasty is around 80% but can't recall where I read that.

Dear fucking god. I knew that fistulas and other specifically urinary and the surrounding area related complications were very common, but losing a leg is a whole new level of medical incompetence.

Every single person incapacitated by these procedures should sue, especially if they weren't warned about the specific post surgery problems that they experienced.

So many trans men who talk about their complications emphasise the lack of warnings and are told complications are rare.
Same with vaginoplasty.
