Sex reassignment surgery has been successfully performed for the first time in Nepal. A 25-year-old "transgender" person from Janakpur was made a female genital organ using male tissue at the Maharajganj University Teaching Hospital. Jaiman Shrestha said.

Head of Plastic Surgery Department Dr. According to Shrestha, the person was discharged from the hospital within a week of the operation, but it will take 4 to 6 months to return to normal. 

hospital spokesperson Dr. Gopal Sedhai said that with this success, even complex surgery like sex change can be done in Nepal at a low cost. "A complex and sensitive surgery like gender change has been successful for the first time in Nepal," he says.

Sex change surgery was done for the first time so that there would be no legal trouble. Shrestha says. "We have started this surgery in Nepal to make it easier for those who are not satisfied with their gender identity or who want to undergo surgery," he says, "so that no one should feel depressed about their identity." Don't be afraid of what the society will say. Our main goal is to make the transgender community proud of their identity.' 

Peter from the Blue Diamond Society said that the introduction of gender reassignment surgery in Nepal has created a 'comfort zone' for people in his community. "Society doesn't ask me who I am when I'm walking somewhere, I can feel proud of myself as a woman and feel that I look the most beautiful in the world," she said, "Why not do surgery, of course, for my gender identity." Breast and facial surgeries were also performed during the four-day program.
