Surgeon Expects to Benefit from Advances in Gender-Change Research

Dr. Loren Schechter is one of less than a handful of doctors in the United States who perform the most delicate surgery in the trans-gender process.

Loren Schechter's surgical specialty would never be considered the easiest or most commonplace. Only three other surgeons in the United States and perhaps just 20 in the entire world are in the practice.

But, going forward, the Morton Grove-based doctor who handles the most difficult part of what he calls "gender-confirmation" surgery – once termed a "sex-change" operation – believes his job may get a bit easier and receive more social acceptance as medical research progresses in coming years.
