Chapter 3: Follow-up studies in chronological order
Gunn-Sechehaye, 1964
Cannot be specified, presumably (comp.
Gunn-Sechehaye, 1965) the Psychiatric University Clinic,
Geneva, Switzerland
In
this publication eight MFTs are described, of whom four
were operated. This publication does not fulfil the
criteria for the follow-up studies referred to here
(minimum n=5 operated). We mention it as an exception
because early courses are documented (surgeries,
1941-1960) that are not mentioned in the overview by
Pauly (1965). A German summary of the post-surgical
courses of the four females can be found in
Simona-Politta (1983). Three of the patients still lived
at the time of the surgery with their wives; two had more
or less extorted their operation; only two of the four
females had a vagina. The legal sex change could only be
acquired by two. One of the patients became psychotic
following surgery. She was permanently hospitalized in a
psychiatric ward.
