Mumbai: In a pioneering move, JJ Hospital has achieved a significant milestone by becoming the first state-run hospital to introduce transgender voice surgery. Spearheading this groundbreaking initiative is Dr Nupur Nerurkar, an esteemed ENT surgeon from Bombay Hospital, heralded as the first in the state to conduct such transformative procedures.
Dr Pallavi Saple, dean of the JJ group of hospitals, said, “The ENT department will have an outpatient service for patients wanting feminine voice. The procedure will be under the supervision of Dr Nerurkar, who will be doing the surgeries and guiding our doctors.”
The procedure, known as Wendlers Glottoplasty, has been conceptualized by the renowned German surgeon, Jurgen Wendler, aiming to facilitate a seamless transition for transgender individuals from male to female by refining their vocal characteristics. This innovative surgical intervention holds the promise of assisting transgender patients in attaining a more feminine voice, aligning with what they identify with.
