BackgroundGender reassignment surgery (GRS) from male to female is increasingly being requested by older female patients.ResultsTo the best of our knowledge this study has for the first time investigated the correlation between the age of patients and perioperative and postoperative complications. The presented data show that an age-related limitation for this intervention due to perioperative and postoperative complications is not justified.ConclusionHealth status and capability for self-sufficiency as well as physical and psychological limitations must be individually considered in order to achieve a successful postoperative course and a subjective satisfaction of patients.
