Gynecomastia is enlargement of the male breast caused by gland proliferation. Surgery is performed for symptom relief or for cosmetic reasons. The authors used a modified operative procedure, then evaluated the results and safety.
Between 2001 and 2005, 22 men (median age, 26 years; range, 13-63 years) with gynecomastia underwent surgery. The operative procedure included a zigzag periareolar skin incision, eccentric subcutaneous mastectomy, and liposuction, with postoperative compression.
All the patients were satisfied with the results of the surgery, which produced a chest contour resembling a normal male chest rather than simply a smaller breast. The only complication was a hematoma. One patient was found to have breast cancer.
The normal male chest contour can be restored by the described method of eccentric subcutaneous mastectomy.
男性乳房肥大是由腺体增生引起的男性乳房增大。手术旨在缓解症状或出于美容目的。作者采用了一种改良的手术方法,然后评估了其效果和安全性。
2001年至2005年间,22例男性乳房肥大患者(中位年龄26岁;范围13 - 63岁)接受了手术。手术步骤包括乳晕周围锯齿状皮肤切口、偏心皮下乳房切除术和抽脂术,并在术后进行加压包扎。
所有患者对手术效果均满意,术后胸部轮廓类似正常男性胸部,而非仅仅是较小的乳房。唯一的并发症是血肿。发现1例患者患有乳腺癌。
通过所述的偏心皮下乳房切除术方法可恢复正常男性胸部轮廓。
