Welcome to The Reed Centre for Genital Surgery / Sex Change Surgery.
Here you will find information on the Sex Change Surgery, Sexual Reassignment Surgery (SRS) also called Gender Reassignment Surgery (GRS) and all the related cosmetic procedures that we offer to the Transgender community.

DEPOSITS:
A 50% deposit is required to schedule any procedure and as time and materials and a commitment to post operative care may be required, these deposits are non-refundable.

Do not schedule or submit any deposits unless you are comfortable with the information presented on these forms.

Do not schedule or submit any deposit if you are contemplating having other surgical procedures within a few weeks of your intended procedure with Dr. Reed, as this is often medically ill advised and your deposit will
not be refunded. If concerned, please discuss this with Dr. Reed beforehand.

ADVISORIES:

Stopping Hormones before surgery: REGARDLESS whether you are having a first stage vaginoplasty, a touch up or revision (2nd stage vaginoplasty), or even an orchiectomy, STOP estrogens a good month before surgery, as they may predispose to thromboses or emboli (unwanted clotting including the potential for fatal pulmonary emboli, coronary events, and/or stroke) . If you do not do this, your case may very well be cancelled. You may resume 10 days after surgery.

Also stop spironolactone within 2 weeks of your procedure as this medicine may interfere with the response of certain drugs administered during anesthesia called vasopressors.

Concent Forms: Please view our web-site for a copy of your consent form related to the surgery you are anticipating. If you are unable to access a copy, kindly request our office to mail or fax you a copy. All consent forms are in Acrobat Reader format. Download the Reader here:

Then using a printed form, mark it up with any questions or concerns that you might have.

Prior to scheduling please be sure all of your questions and concerns have been answered to your satisfaction.

Be sure to bring the form to your consultation with a list of questions for discussion with Dr. Reed.

Complications that may arise, risks, and potential adverse reactions are mentioned, based upon the knowledge and experience of Dr. Reed, including some conjectured risks.

Deposits and Refunds:
To secure a surgical date and preserve a fee commitment, a 50% non-refundable deposit is required.

Evaluation of changes in bone density and biochemical parameters after parathyroidectomy in primary hyperparathyroidism.

Nakaoka D, Sugimoto T, Kobayashi T, Yamaguchi T, Kobayashi A, Chihara K.

Third Division, Department of Medicine, Kobe University School of Medicine, Japan.

We examined the relationships between serum levels of intact parathyroid hormone (PTH) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) versus bone mineral density (BMD) at the lumbar spine and radius in terms of their preoperative values and of their annual percentage and net changes after parathyroidectomy (PTX) in 44 Japanese patients (14 men and 30 women) with primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT). Lumbar and radial BMD values were measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry and single photon absorptiometry and were used for evaluating the cancellous and cortical bone mass, respectively. Age- and sex-adjusted value (Z-score) of the radial BMD was significantly lower than that of the lumbar BMD before and after PTX (P < 0.05). In preoperative patients, serum levels of both intact PTH and ALP were significantly and negatively correlated with Z-score of the radial BMD (P < 0.05 and P < 0.001, respectively), but not with that of the lumbar BMD. After PTX, serum levels of calcium, phosphorus, ALP, and PTH became normal, and both lumbar and radial BMD values markedly increased over 1 year, with percentage changes of 12.2+/-1.4% and 11.6+/-1.6%, respectively, which were larger than those in any other Caucasian study previously documented. Even in patients without osteopenia (Z-score of BMD 20), lumbar and radial BMD values increased considerably after the operation (9.6+/-1.9% and 6.7+/-1.4%, respectively). Annual percentage and net changes in lumbar BMD were significantly and negatively correlated with those in ALP with high correlation coefficients, but those in radial BMD were correlated only with the annual net change in ALP but not with the percentage change. No significant correlations were observed between annual changes in either lumbar or radial BMD and those in intact PTH. Taken together, this study shows that PTX causes dramatic improvements in both the cancellous and cortical bone mass in Japanese pHPT patients regardless of the severity of their osteopenia, and suggests that the cancellous and cortical bones react differently to a preoperative endogenous PTH excess and a high bone turnover rate as well as to the postoperative normalization of a bone turnover rate in the patients.
