Georges Burou (1910–1987) was a French gynecologist who managed a clinic[1] in Casablanca, Morocco and is widely credited with innovating modern sex reassignment surgery for transwomen.[2]
Notable patients include Coccinelle, April Ashley and Jan Morris.
Many surgeons, including the late Stanley Biber, have credited Burou's methods as the basis for their techniques.[3]
