In 2022, 486 Swiss residents were admitted to hospital for one or more gender affirmation operations. The number of medical procedures of this type has been rising steadily since 2018.
In 68% of cases, the aim of the operations carried out was gender reassignment from female to male, the Federal Statistical Office (FSO) said in a press release on Thursday. In 32% of cases, the opposite was the case.
The number of interventions remained very low until 2018. It then rose steadily, from 248 in 2019 to 525 in 2022 (an increase of 115%). The increase in male-to-female operations has been more pronounced (123%) than in female-to-male operations (102%).
