Was it a recent death? There’s one from 2013 that’s pretty tragic, but I can see why people would object to that being dragged up as a criticism of the surgery now. Though it should be up for discussion as long as it’s clearly flagged as not recent.

Does anyone know who the OP was?

If you have an operation that messes with your urinary system, then one of the complications can be trouble urinating. This is a big problem, especially when repeated UTIs cause kidney issues and the renal failure. The other complications mentioned in the case included sepsis, DVT and a brain bleed.

Presumably we’re talking about phalloplasty?
Was the problem with the site the skin was removed from, or where it was grafted to?

A friend had skin grafting after cancer treatment. It really isn’t a trivial process.

From what I can gather having read the original TikTok posts, there were endless urinary problems. The original operation didn't go well and there were numerous follow up surgeries and infections.

It is not acceptable risk and clearly an appalling tragedy.

I will post this piece by the Metro again which glorifies the channel 4 programme naked attraction which glorifies and encourages young women to have these extremely debilitating and dangerous surgeries.

I wonder if the likes of David Tennant bother to read about these sort of outcomes? Absolutely tragic.

I was just reading the linked Ovarit threads when it was deleted. I was wondering if it was about fictional person, planted to get us worked up about nothing, especially as the last letters of her name spelled 'terv' backwards, iirc.

Maybe we should not mention names and stick to discussing the operation generally. I suspect that some posters don’t want names mentioned.

I saw this news last week and felt angry at the activists who have pushed for this surgery. Those who dismiss the reality of the horror of its very low rate of even producing something that works. Considering the detansitioners who remind us of the potential permanent negative side effects on testosterone to the kidneys, bladder and urethra that some still experience after detransition, I cannot imagine a medical team thinking this was ever something that should be attempted.

I have seen this high risk dismissed on MN previously as just the acceptable risk for ‘affirming’ surgery.

Me too.

I missed that.
