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.
