I've never been afraid of surgeries until 3weeks ago when I needed brain surgery and made the midöstske of gioogling the procedure. ttiskalping me? mhm okay, I won't be awake for that, that scar sucks though, i like my hair how it is, I hope that scar won't have much of an impact..saaing/drilling open my skull? guess they have to reach my fumbling through my brain to get to the right part and do their stuff? ok.. wait no, not ok, that's my thinking muscle if that surgeon suddenly sneezes imeither gonna be dead or a vegetable, and I don't even like most vegetables...brain somehoe for this to work.. and just then i was kinda afraid of surgery. the post-op syringes through my jaw and into the brain were somehow worsethough, not painful, but feeling them inside your head and thinking "sneeze=death" is very uncomfortableand freaked me outI had a major surgery a month ago. Since I'm a woman, it disturbed me hearing that they allow students to do pelvic exams without permission on sedated patients. I made sure to tell two different nurses and my surgeon that I don't consent to that. It was extra disturbing that they just said ok. I was hoping for something like... we would never do thatI feel you, Ifirst came to the hospital via ambulance after headsplitting headaches that caused me to vomit and made moving impossible, gotan infusion of pain meds and after the docs heard that i had migraines before and my headaches were mostly gone they send me home.. headaxhes returned over the following weekend, i went to a normal doc, who ecamined me a bit more closely and called another ambulance because e thought i might have meningitis.. so i 4days had passed and I show up at the same emergency room, this time they take itmore serious,send me to get cted, and once I'm done the doc tells me I won't be leaving for a few weeks as i have two aneurysms in my head that need to be treated before they leak.
So here I am. Four weeks later, just left the ICU today and still royally pissed off, and these assholes can't even cook. Docs asking me why I'm not eating more while the food tastes worse than in the jail I was in a few years ago, guys if the only thing you don't fuck up is bread with sliced cheese, maybe that's the problemThey are probably talking about Total Knee Replacement, also known as arthroplasty. As the name implies, it is the instalation of a prosthetic in the knee to recover from damage caused by arthritis. It is commonly used as a talking point because TKR is the single most common elective surgery.
Depending on the study group and methodology, regret rates for TKR are estimated to be 10%, with some studies going as high as 30%.
For comparison, most studies for transition show a rate between 0.5 and 3%. This is taking into account studies about surgeries only, whole transitions, and hormones/blockers only.
The highest number I could find was 8%, in this link below. However, this was measuring detransition, not regret specifically, and it shows that 62% of said detransitions were temporary. In fact, in page 115 it shows reasons given for said detransitions, and only 5% of that initial 8 actually said that transition was not for them, leaving a 0.4% regret rate
