Summary
Gender dysphoria involves distress caused by a mismatch between a person's gender identity and sex assigned at birth. Gender-affirming care may include hormone therapy and surgery. However, neurosurgeons often report limited confidence in treating transgender patients because of gaps in knowledge about the neurological implications of gender dysphoria and hormone therapy. To address this gap, researchers from the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh reviewed existing literature to identify these implications and improve neurosurgical care.
