Surgical treatment of locally advanced anal cancer after male-to-female sex reassignment surgery

Abstract

We present a case of a transsexual patient who underwent a partial pelvectomy and genital reconstruction for anal cancer after chemoradiation. This is the first case in literature reporting on the occurrence of anal cancer after male-to-female sex reassignment surgery. We describe the surgical approach presenting our technique to avoid postoperative complications and preserve the sexual reassignment. © 2009 The WJG Press and Baishideng. All rights reserved.
