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.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: 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.
What could go wrong: This is a very small, early-stage study (20 people) focused on education and planning, not on curing or treating a disease. Results may not apply to other surgeries or centers.
