description Background Currently available patient-reported outcome measures are limited in the field of sex reassignment surgery (SRS). Standardized questionnaires deliver high evidence data on satisfaction of male-to-female (MTF) transgender patients but do not allow any modification in their clinical application. We therefore designed a prospective study using self-developed indication-specific questionnaires to evaluate the aesthetic, functional, and sexual outcomes of MTF patients undergoing SRS. Methods Forty-nine adult MTF transgender patients who underwent two-stage SRS were eligible for study inclusion between September 2012 and January 2014. Forty patients (= N) ultimately filled out both parts of the questionnaire sets: 1 day before the first stage (T0) and 6 months after the second stage of SRS (T1). These questionnaires focused on demographic characteristics, the satisfaction with aesthetic and functional results, and sexuality. Results Patients rated their surgical satisfaction of most items with mean scores above 7 on a 0–10-point scale. Many items evaluating everyday life activities improved significantly after SRS compared to T0 ( p

Many items evaluating everyday life activities improved significantly after SRS compared to T0 ( p  &lt; 0.01). All but one patient (97.5%) reported no regrets about having undergone surgery, and the majority recommended it to other patients with gender dysphoria. Femininity and sexual activity increased significantly postoperatively ( p  &lt; 0.01). Satisfaction with intercourse and orgasm was high: 6.70 and 8.21, respectively, on a 0–10 scale. Conclusion Satisfaction with the cosmetic outcome, as well as the functional and sexual outcomes, reveal positive effects of SRS using the combined technique on transgender patient lives. Nevertheless, standardized and validated SRS-specific questionnaires are lacking. Level of Evidence IV This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.
