No questionnaire is currently available to evaluate sexual function after male to female (MtF) gender affirming surgery. Such a limit leads to a suboptimal evaluation in post-operative sexual function in these patients. We aimed at developing and validating a new questionnaire, the operated Male to Female Sexual Function Index (oMtFSFI), for assessing sexual function in MtF patients after surgery.
