The number of chest reconstruction surgeries being performed on trans children has rocketed nearly five-fold in recent years, a study has found.
Researchers from Vanderbilt University, in Nashville, Tennessee, found there were 489 ‘top surgeries’ performed among those aged 17 or younger in 2019.
This was up from only 100 in 2016, marking a 389 per cent rise in three years. The average age of patients who received surgery was 17, but 5.5 per cent were under 14.
