Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the similarities and differences of chondrolaryngoplasty between female and male-to-female transgender patients.Methods:A retrospective analysis focused on the case with chondrolaryngoplasty in Peking University Third Hospital from March 2016 to September 2019.Patients were followed up an average 14mths with an eleven-point Likert scale. We assigned patients into a female ( n=11) and transgender women( n=12) groups, using SPSS 22.0 tool to process and analyze data. The paired sample t test is conducted to compare pre-and postoperative differences, while independent sample t test is to compare between groups; a P-value less than 0.05 is considered to have statistical significance. Results:A total of 23 patients were enrolled, including 11 female patients and 12 transgender patients, aged 18 to 37 years old (mean 26.87±5.54 years old). Satisfaction with surgery is 95.65% (22/23 patients), satisfaction with the appearance of laryngeal prominence is 82.61% (19/23 patients). After the operation, the Self-Estimate Laryngeal Prominence Score improves from 6.57±2.45 to 2.22±2.09, the Social Ability Restriction Score improves from 6.30±3.02 to 1.52±2.54, the Phycological Burden Score decrease from 7.70±2.44 to 1.83±2.62, all data have statistical significances ( P<0.01). The improvement value of the previous two scores is greater than the transgender women group with statistical significances ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Chondrolaryngoplasty can remarkably improve the appearance of laryngeal prominence of patients. Transgenders women can obtain better social and phycological improvement than female patients after chondrolaryngoplasty.
