ADPF 787
''ADPF 787'' was a case of the Supreme Court of Brazil concerning ease of access of transgender people to public healthcare in Brazil, provided by the Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS). The case's rapporteur, minister Gilmar Mendes, cast the initial vote asserting the right of any person, regardless of gender, to access healthcare they require, and the Court unanimously agreed. Specifically, the case concerned ease of access of transgender people to traditionally gendered care, such as gynecology and urology. Computer systems in place would sometimes prevent requests for appointments by people with the "incorrect" gender, which disproportionally affected transgender people. The Court unanimously ruled that such systems must be altered and improved to prevent further exclusions. Background The case was requested by the Workers' Party in objection to obstacles encountered by transgender people, during the presidency of Jair Bolsonaro, while attempting to access the country's public ...

Vasectomy
Vasectomy is an elective surgical procedure that results in male sterilization, often as a means of permanent contraception. During the procedure, the male vasa deferentia are cut and tied or sealed so as to prevent sperm from entering into the urethra and thereby prevent fertilization of a female through sexual intercourse. Vasectomies are usually performed in a physician's office, medical clinic, or, when performed on a non-human animal, in a veterinary clinic. Hospitalization is not normally required as the procedure is not complicated, the incisions are small, and the necessary equipment routine. There are several methods by which a surgeon might complete a vasectomy procedure, all of which occlude (i.e., "seal") at least one side of each vas deferens.

Urology
Urology (from Ancient Greek, Greek wikt:οὖρον, οὖρον ''ouron'' "urine" and ''wiktionary:-logia, -logia'' "study of"), also known as genitourinary surgery, is the branch of medicine that focuses on surgical and medical diseases of the urinary system and the reproductive organs.
