Miroslav L Djordjevic (Serbian spelling: Miroslav Đorđević) is a Serbian surgeon specializing in sex reassignment surgery, and an assistant professor of urology at the School of Medicine, University of Belgrade, Serbia.[1]

Early life and education

Djordjevic completed his medical studies, including his urology residency, at the University of Belgrade's School of Medicine, in Serbia, in 1991. His PhD thesis, completed in 2003, was titled "A New Approach for Surgical Treatment of Peyronie's Disease".

Career

Djordjevic works in the field of genital reconstructive surgery. Djordjevic has published many papers on the surgical treatment of hypospadias, epispadias, Peyronie's disease, adult hypospadias, buried penis, urethral reconstruction, pediatric reconstructive urology, and penile enhancement surgery, as well as transgender surgery.[2] He is the founder and leader of the Belgrade Center for Genital Reconstructive Surgery.

Since 1999, Djordjevic has been a professor of surgery at the Medical School of Belgrade University. Since 2013, he has been a member of the Academy of Serbian Medical Association.[1]

In 2008, Djordjevic jointly authored a paper titled Transsexualism in Serbia: A Twenty-Year Follow-Up Study.[3]

Serbia has become a centre for transgender surgery,[4] [5] in part due to the work of Djordjevic, with candidates coming from France, Iran, India,[6] the United States, South Africa, Singapore, and Australia.[7] [8] [9]

Djordjevic has reported that some people regret having undergone gender confirmation procedures, and he has performed reversal surgeries for those detransitioning. He says the demographic most commonly experiencing regret are male-to-female patients who transitioned after the age of 30.[10] [11]

He works on his project to develop a technique to transplant penis, testicles, uterine for transgender persons. He is optimistic that transplantation of genitalia will eventually become standard.[12]

In 2023, he successfully transplanted an ovary, making Serbia the second country in the world to do so.[13]
