Bottom surgery refers to any form of gender confirmation surgery which affects the genitalia and reproductive organs. Bottom surgery may be a part of medical transition.
Common forms of bottom surgery include:

- Vaginectomy - removal of the vagina.
- Hysterectomy - removal of the uterus.

- Metoidioplasty - separation of the clitoris (enlarged from HRT) from the labia minora to produce a penis.
- Phalloplasty - construction of a penis from non-genital tissue.
