Our study published this week: At both 90 days and 1 year after surgery, patients cared for by female surgeons were less likely to have been readmitted, have complications, and die compared to those cared for by male surgeons.

New study on long term satisfaction/regret among trans patients:

The results are overwhelmingly positive compared with other medical and nonmedical decisions. In a systematic review of 44 studies of multiple conditions using the Decision Regret Scale, including breast cancer treatment and reconstruction, only 1 study of urinary incontinence had a lower level of decisional regret.
