Back Is there a single surgery capable of fixing everything?

Early surgery is not always the solution. Sometimes operations must be revised, that is, secondary surgery is necessary to correct any negative outcomes, or simply because the person's expectations have not been met. To date, there is no unanimous consensus among Variations of Sex Characteristics (VSCs)/Differences of Sex Development (DSDs) professionals on the best time to perform non-urgent surgery of any kind. However, in line with international recommendations, it is better to respect the person’s rights and postpone surgery until they can actively participate in the decision-making process
