Traumatic ear amputation (TEA) affects hundreds of Americans each year. However, there is little information regarding epidemiology, risk factors, and treatment for TEA, all which enhance a surgeon's understanding TEA planning. This study included data from The National Trauma Data Bank (NTDB) collected the year 2017 to 2021. variables analyzed demographics, pre-existing comorbidities, mechanism concurrent injuries, inpatient complications, reattachment details, length stay, discharge...
There is no consensus regarding perioperative hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for gender-affirming surgery (GAS). Common concerns continuing HRT included risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or hematoma. However, discontinuing not free and may cause mood swing increased anxiety. Our study aimed to investigate current patterns before GAS worldwide.
Abstract Background Concrete, data-driven guidelines for breast cancer screening among the transgender and gender diverse (TGD) population is lacking. The present study evaluates possible associations of gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) on incidental pathology findings in trans-masculine patients to inform decision making about screening. Patients Methods This was a retrospective cohort who had mastectomy or reduction at single center from July 2019 February 2024. A total 865 met...
Partial burn injury in older patients is associated with higher rates of morbidity, mortality, and conversion to full thickness (Finnerty et al., 2009; Pham 2009). Both human mouse models demonstrate an altered systemic immune response subjects, however less known about the localized (Jeschke 2016; Farinas 2018; Mohs 2017). We hypothesized that a model could differences inflammatory old.Six old (66 weeks) young (8 mice received partial thermal burns. Localized expression nine chemokines...
Although neurotization has the potential to improve sensory outcomes after autologous breast reconstruction, this technique remains controversial. There is debate regarding clinical and recipient nerve of choice. This histoanatomical study aims quantitatively compare components nerves involved in deep inferior epigastric perforator flap.Subjects undergoing bilateral reconstruction were enrolled. Transected specimens underwent immunohistochemical staining with antibodies against neurofilament...
PURPOSE: Chondrolaryngoplasty, or tracheal shave, is a consistent facet of facial feminization surgery (FFS). This procedure involves debulking the laryngeal prominence thyroid cartilage. The present study describes technical aspects performing this safely and investigates outcomes complications procedure. METHODS: A retrospective analysis patient records was conducted to assess chondrolaryngoplasty performed at our center. Vital intraoperative measures for ensuring safety were identified....
PURPOSE: Gender-affirming mastectomy is a crucial procedure for transmasculine individuals seeking to alleviate gender dysphoria. However, many surgeons refuse operate on obese patients. While common practice, research support this guideline lacking. METHODS: This study retrospective analysis of the impact BMI postoperative complications in patients undergoing gender-affirming mastectomy. Patients were classified as normal, overweight, Class I obese, II and III obese. Additionally, with...
Introduction: The thyroid cartilage, an androgen-sensitive structure, enlarges during puberty in individuals assigned male at birth, often resulting a pronounced neck protuberance. This feature can exacerbate gender dysphoria transfeminine patients. Chondrolaryngoplasty, commonly known as tracheal shave, is procedure incorporated into facial feminization surgery (FFS) to address this issue. study reports on the implementation of endoscopic-assisted chondrolaryngoplasty technique, its safety,...
Feminizing top surgery, or mammaplasty augmentation, has multiple variables that surgeons can adjust to work synergistically with patient anatomy including plane of implant placement, pocket size, and inframammary fold (IMF) location. In the gender diverse population receiving this procedure reduce symptoms dysphoria, should be aware differing surgical approaches for feminizing surgery.
