For the first time, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) recommended against sex reassignment surgery in young people. It sent the statement to its 11,000 members on Tuesday. A group of doctors in the US is thus opposing gender reassignment surgery for young people. This is the first public statement by a major medical group on the subject. The ASPS highlights the risks of such procedures in young patients. The opinion is based on current medical knowledge and recommendations.[1]
