Patient-reported outcome measures for assessing urinary dysfunction following gender-affirming genital surgery: A narrative review of the literature.

Despite recent advancements, a need remains for standardized assessment tools to evaluate pelvic floor dysfunction and urinary symptoms following gender-affirming genital surgery. Questionnaires developed for the general population to assess symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse and other urinary dysfunction do not fully capture the experiences unique to TGNB individuals undergoing this type of surgery. Nonetheless, PROMs validated specifically for TGNB individuals are necessary to more accurately evaluate outcomes of gender-affirming genital surgery, allow for informed patient counseling, and create evidence-based changes to improve these interventions.
