Geschlechtsumwandlungsoperation
Explanation:
or, in order to avoid the "monster word": Geschlechtsumwandlung durch Operation bzw. operative Geschlechtsumwandlung. The latter two variants generate by far more google hits than "Geschlechtsumwandlungsoperation".

If you are looking for a very highly officialese term, try
\"chirurgische Geschlechtsfestlegung\" or \"Geschlechtskorrektur\":
http://www.lsvd.de/themen/1405627.html

But don\'t be fooled by many google hits: \"Geschlechtsfestlegung\" also refers to the process that lead to the determination of the gender of an embryo.

agree  tectranslate ITS GmbH: Oder "Operation". Und evtl. "Umwandlung".

neutral  Tobias Ernst: "Veränderung" wird in dem Zusammenhang doch meist nur in der Biologie gebraucht. Da bei einem Menschen nur 2 klar unterscheidbare Geschlechtszustände vorliegen, spricht man i.d.R. von einer "Umwandlung". (Die Ausnahme auf google bestätigt die Regel ...)
