  • TREATMENT OF GYNECOMASTIA BY A COMBINED METHOD OF LIPOSUCTION AND SEMICIRCULAR PERIAREOLAR INCISION GLANDULAR ORGAN PARTIAL RESECTION

    Objective To evaluate the effect of the combined method of l iposuction and semicircular periareolar incision glandular organ partial resection in the treatment of gynecomastia. Methods From June 2004 to June 2006, 40 patients, aged 11-41 years old, were treated, with no-nodule (n=10), nodule (n=22) and female-breast-l ike with nodules (n=8). Three patients were unilateral and 37 ones were bilateral. The levels of serum prolactin, luteinizing hormone, foll icle stimulating hormone, estradiol, testosterone and cortisol were normal in 38 patients, while in the other 2 patients, the levels ofserum prolactin, luteinizing hormone, foll icle stimulating hormone and estradiol were higher than normal, and the testosterone level was lower. Li posuction alone was performed in 10 no-nodule patients (lei po-type), and combined l i posuction and semicircular periareolar incision glandular organ partial resection were conducted in the other 30 patients (lei po-glandular type). Results Except for 2 cases in which hematoma and a small amount of effusion were found on the first and second day postoperatively and then obtained heal ing by first intention right after hematoma removal in time, all the other patients’ incisions obtained heal ing by first intention. Ni pple numbness occurred in 3 cases on the first day postoperatively and no special treatment was conducted. There was still nipple hypesthesia in these 3 cases after 6-month follow-up. There were no compl ications such as hematoma, effusion, nipple and mammary areola necrosis, and nipple hypesthesia in other patients. All the 40 patients were followed up for 6-24 months (13 months on average). They were satisfied with their chest figures and no recurrence was observed. Conclusion The combined method of l iposuction and semicircular periareolar incision glandular organ partial resection in the treatment of gynecomastia has many advantages, such as safe, micro-scars, natural and beautiful male breast figures as well as high patients’ satisfaction.

  • Analysis of preoperative assessment of glandular mass in gynecomastia

    ObjectiveTo investigate the effectiveness of axillary single-site laparoscopic subcutaneous mastectomy in treatment of gynecomastia (GYN) and the assessment method of glandular mass before operation. Methods A clinical data of 65 GYN patients admitted between August 2023 and February 2024 and matched the selection criteria was retrospectively analyzed. The patients were (30.8±7.9) years old, with a body mass index (BMI) of 27.3 (24.9, 29.8) kg/m2. According to Simon’s grading criteria, the GYN was classified as gade Ⅰ in 8 cases, grade Ⅱa in 32 cases, grade Ⅱb in 21 cases, and grade Ⅲ in 4 cases. All patients underwent bilateral axillary single-site laparoscopic subcutaneous mastectomy. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative bilateral extubation time, total length of hospital stay, and the occurrence of related complications were recorded. The cosmetic outcome score was assessed by questionnaire at 2 months after operation. Preoperative BMI, lying/standing sternal notch to nipple (SN-N), and lying/standing nipple to nipple (N-N) were measured. The differences in SN-N between standing and lying positions (ΔSN-N) and in N-N between lying and standing positions (ΔN-N) were calculated. The intraoperative resected glandular mass was recorded. The glandular mass-related indicators (BMI, ΔSN-N, ΔN-N) were compared between Simon grades. Spearman’s correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analysis of glandular mass with BMI and ΔSN-N, ΔN-N and Simon grading (grades Ⅰ, Ⅱa, Ⅱb, and Ⅲ were assigned values of 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively) of the corresponding side. ResultsAll operations were successfully completed with the operation time of 75.0 (60.0, 90.0) minutes, the intraoperative blood loss of 12.0 (11.0, 13.0) mL, and the bilateral extubation time of 1.5 (1.5, 1.5) days after operation. The total length of hospital stay was 3.0 (3.0, 3.0) days. Three cases of subcutaneous hematoma in the chest wall and 1 case of nipple areola numbness and discomfort occurred after operation, while the rest of the patients had no complication, such as postoperative haemorrhage, effusion, infection, and nipple areola necrosis. The subjective cosmetic scores were all 15 at 2 months after operation, which was very satisfactory. The differences in ΔSN-N of right side between Simon grade Ⅰ and grades Ⅱa, Ⅱb, Ⅲ and in ΔSN-N of left side between Simon grade Ⅰ and grades Ⅱb, Ⅲ were significant (P<0.05), while the differences between the remaining grades were not significant (P>0.05). The differences in ΔN-N between Simon grade Ⅱa and gradeⅡb and in BMI between Simon grade Ⅱb and grade Ⅲ were not significant (P>0.05), while the differences between the remaining grades were significant (P<0.05). The glandular masses of left and right breasts in 65 patients were 69.0 (52.1, 104.0) g and 73.0 (56.0, 94.0) g, respectively; and the difference between left and right breasts was not significant (Z=−0.622, P=0.534). The data of the right breast was selected for correlation analysis. Correlation analysis showed that the right glandular mass was positive correlated with BMI and Simon grading, ΔSN-N, and ΔN-N (P<0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that Simon grading had a positive predictive effect on glandular mass, and the regression equation was as follows: right glandular mass=5.541+32.115×Simon grading (R2=0.354, P<0.001). ConclusionAxillary single-site laparoscopic subcutaneous mastectomy is an ideal surgical procedure for the treatment of GYN. BMI and Simon grading are closely related to GYN glandular mass, and have certain reference value for preoperative glandular mass assessment.
