Kurt Warnekros

Kurt Warnekros (November 15, 1882–September 30, 1949) was a German gynaecologist and pioneer in sex reassignment surgery.

As a result, Warnekros arranged a series of operations serving as Elbe's feminizing genitoplasty.

This was following the operation performed at Magnus Hirschfeld's Institute for Sexual Research for the removal of Elbe's testicles.

Lili died after the last (as well as most ambitious) operation ventured, when her body rejected the transplanted womb.

[3] In the 1933 semi-biographical narrative of Elbe's life, Man Into Woman, Warnekros is depicted through the character Werner Kreutz.
