Hi all

Does any one have experience from Sweden, there is zero information about doctors here or how good they are in SRS or FFS, also long term results.
any information would be appreciated.

I'm not from Sweden but from Norway, so not gonna be the most useful. I'm having issues myself, even though I'm now on the wait list for the surgery.
On the Norwegian site it says "Plastikkirurgisk avdeling har et godt samarbeid med plastikkirurgisk avdeling i Linköping i Sverige, samt avdelinger i Belgia og Nederland. Flere forskningsprosjekter pågår og det er stor ->-bleeped-<-utvikling. Metoder og resultater blir presentert på nasjonale og internasjonale kongresser og i aktuelle tidskrifter."
Which at least calmed me a little, knowing that they worked with other countries in Europe, I'd assume it's the same for sweden. Since Sweden and Norway works together I think the surgical method is pretty similar, advanced penile inversion. Here is some info on a Norwegian site, but it's from 2010 so kinda old but better than nothing

If you are getting HRT in Sweden the best thing would be for you to contact the people there to get a better idea of how it's done. Individual surgeons don't seem to matter too much in EU countries. I called the patient coordinator at the hospital I'm getting my surgery and I'm gonna get a call back from the surgeon who will be having my surgery. Gonna ask him about 15 questions or so, I could tell you the replies to the questions that could be relevant to you (assuming Sweden and Norway uses a similar technique but I don't see why we wouldnt).
