Guiding the Care Team: Dr. Alex Xu Coauthors Review of Gender-Affirming Genital Surgery Techniques

Published in the Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgery, this narrative review by Samantha E.

Dr. Xu's contributions help ensure gender-affirming care is grounded in both surgical precision and whole-team understanding.
