The full title of that entry is actually “Obstetric and gynaecological devices associated with adverse incidents”, so maybe some of the men are actually the OB/GYN themselves that are getting injured in the course of their work? The raw number is only 19 cases, so I could see that being plausible
Alternatively, with so few cases, could it be intersex people who are still categorised as male under whatever criteria this is using? 1.7% seems a touch high for that, but maybe things go wrong more often for said intersex people
Edit: wait, 90 of the cases are 0-year-olds. I’m definitely going with injuries to babies during difficult births / C-sections / similar
you usually see a gynecologist for pap smears once a year, but there might be one willing to do prostate exams for post-op trans women … usually trans affirming gynecologists are for pro-op trans men
maybe post-op trans women would see a gynecologist, just not sure what for
edit: looking it up, a gynecologist is recommended for post-op trans women, looks like a gynecologist can even function as a primary care doctor!
Common reasons to go include treating granulation, checking for yeast infections and STIs, and performing pelvic exams which might catch potential cancers.
Who are the 1.7% of males needing OB/GYN?

Trans men? But there aren’t that many I think.
Since the pregnancy is at 100%, I believe it’s afab vs amab
Maybe a trans woman who was AMAB but had bottom surgery?
Wouldn’t be capable of pregnancy but might need a gynecologist?
This is all my guess - I don’t know much about these topics.
