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, and he is willing to treat all anomalies of the genital system regardless of gender or age. He is the founder and leader of the Belgrade Center for 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 transsexual 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. In 2008, Djordjevic jointly authored a paper titled Transsexualism in Serbia: A Twenty-Year Follow-Up Study. Serbia has become a centre for sex-change surgery, in part due to the work of Djordjevic, with candidates coming from France, Russia, Iran, India, the United States, South Africa, Singapore, and Australia. Djordjevic has reported that some people regret having undergone sex reassignment procedures, and that many come to him seeking surgical help in detransition. He says this is particularly so for male-to-female patients over the age of 30. His views on this are discussed in detail in a 2018 interview by Mark Hughes of the Pulling the Trigger podcast.
