First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study will test whether using 3D-printed models of a patient's own anatomy helps transgender individuals better understand peritoneal vaginoplasty surgery. Twenty adults seeking vaginoplasty at the University of Chicago will receive personalized 3D models to aid in education and surgical planning. The goal is to improve patient knowledge, reduce surgery time, and lower complication rates.

3D-printed patient-specific anatomical models

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that personalized 3D models improve patient understanding and surgical planning for gender-affirming vaginoplasty.
