Journal Title: Journal of Advances in Medicine and Medical Research - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 35
Abstract
Background: Gynaecomastia is defined as an enlargement of the mammary gland in men. Objective: To evaluate Aesthetic Results of Subdermal Mastectomy by means of Inferior Periareolar Incision. Materials and Methods: Descriptive, cross sectional and prospective study. We evaluate aesthetic results of Subdermal Mastectomy by means of Inferior Periareolar Incision using Analog visual Scale applied by an another Surgeon) and a Questionnaire (Auto Evaluation). Variables: Age, Clinical Symptoms, Evolution time, Complications and Aesthetic Results. Descriptive and Inferencial Statistic was used (Wilcoxon test). Results: Twelve patients, median age 27.5 (18-58) year-old. Nine (75%) patients presented pain, 4 (33.3%) bilateral gynaecomastia, 4 (33.3%) left and 4 (33.3%) right sided gynaecomastia. According to Simon Classification, 3 (25%) patients grade I; 2 (16.6%) IIa; 2 (16.6%) IIb and 5 (41.6%) III. No patient presented concomitant disease, 12 (100%) had normal secondary sexual characteristics. Six (50%) had hyperesthesia. The Aesthetic Evaluation made by a distinct Surgeon was as it follows, 10 (83.3%) had a ≤ 6 punctuation and 2 (16.6%) had ≥ seven (0 - 10, Analogue Visual Scale). Ranks for Aesthetic Aspect Evaluation made by the patients, before and after surgery were 2.54 (average after surgery) and 0.00 (average before surgery), Z -1.857, p=0.0063 (p<0.05, Wilcoxon). Conclusion: Subdermal Mastectomy should be in lower case by Inferior Periareolar Incision, it does not present severe complications however aesthetic results are undesirable.
