In one survey of WPATH-affiliated surgeons, over half reported performing vaginoplasty on minors
A 2017 study by Milrod and Karasic1 surveyed 20 WPATH-affiliated surgeons in the United States about their experiences and attitudes toward vaginoplasty in minors. Of these surgeons, 11 (55%) reported having performed the procedure on minors, with patient ages ranging from 15 to “a day before 18”.
