Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the clinical outcomes of the endoscopic assisted axillary approach in treating gynecomastia with comparison against the conventional periareolar open excision method,and to present our experience utilizing this technique.Methods Fifty participants diagnosed with gynecomastia were included in this study,among which twenty-six were treated using periareolar open excision,and twenty-four were subjected to endoscopic assisted axillary approach.Clinical out comes and patient reported satisfaction were assessed postoperatively.Results One hematoma (4.2％),one seroma (4.2％),and one wound dehiscence (4.2％) were encountered in the endoscopic assisted axillary group;two hematoma (7.7％) and two nipple hypoesthesia (7.7％) occured in the periareolar group.The total complication rate between the two groups was of no significant differences (P＞0.05).The patient reported satisfaction score of the endoscopic assisted axillarygroup rated sig nificantly higher than the periareolar group on the scar domain (t =2.064,P =0.044).Conclusions Endoscopic assisted axillary approach presents higher patient satisfaction and low complication rate,which is worth widely using in future clinical practice.
