3D Models for Vaginoplasty Education and Outcomes

This study is looking at whether using 3D printed models of your own body can help you better understand gender-affirming peritoneal vaginoplasty (a type of surgery to create a vagina). Researchers want to see if these models improve patient education, communication with doctors, and potentially lead to better surgical results like shorter operating room times and fewer complications. You might be able to join if you are an adult assigned male at birth (AMAB), are at least 18 years old, have been diagnosed with gender dysphoria, are seeking vaginoplasty, and can give consent in English. The study aims to enroll 20 participants. Success will be measured by how well you understand the surgery after using the 3D models.

Study design
This is an observational study involving 20 participants. It is not specified if it is randomized or blinded.
What's involved
You would use 3D printed patient-specific models for education during a baseline visit. Your understanding of the surgery will be measured immediately after this visit.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Your understanding will be measured immediately after the baseline visit. No further follow-up is specified.

What this trial measures

  • Use of 3D-printed patient-specific models for patient educationBaseline

    To use 3D printing to generate patient-specific models of abdominal and pelvic anatomy to educate patients about the procedure, including risks, benefits, and potential complications.

  • Participant-reported understanding of gender-affirming vaginoplasty following use of 3D models.immediately after baseline visit

    To evaluate participant knowledge and satisfaction with use of 3D Models for discussing Gender- affirming vaginoplasty surgery.
