Background: Despite a wealth of literature describing the anatomy temporal region, controversy still exists over depth frontal branch facial nerve as it travels zygomatic arch. It is commonly stated that within superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) crosses Clinically, however, apparent runs at deeper level arch, allowing for safe elevation and division SMAS to point or above superior border The purpose this study was define path branches along fascial planes clarify relationship...
Female-to-male transgender individuals frequently seek out chest wall masculinization as part of their gender transition and to aid with treating dysphoria. Critical evaluation techniques, complications, outcomes is important particularly the surgery becomes more commonly performed.A retrospective review was performed all patients undergoing female-to-male reconstruction by senior author from 2008 2015. Charts were reviewed evaluate patient demographics, intraoperative details, postoperative...
Background: The transgender/non-binary community continues to be an underserved population in medicine, and our understanding of their interests, disinterests, barriers transition-related healthcare is quite limited, especially among the diverse gender identities within umbrella. Aim: To determine disinterests affirming surgeries for transgender men, women non-binary individuals any birth-assigned sex. Methods: An anonymous, online survey using REDcap was applied across all 50 states...
The signaling events that drive familial breast cancer (FBC) risk remain poorly understood. While the majority of genomic studies have focused on genetic variants, known variants account for at most 30% FBC cases. Considering multiple genes may influence risk, we hypothesized a pathway-based strategy examining different data types from tissues could elucidate biological basis FBC. In this study, performed integrated analyses gene expression and exome-sequencing peripheral blood mononuclear...
Summary: There remain significant gaps in the evidence-based care of patients undergoing gender-affirming mastectomy with regard to implications for breast cancer development and screening. The current clinical evidence does not demonstrate an increased risk secondary testosterone therapy transgender patients. Gender-affirmation techniques vary significantly amount residual tissue left behind, which has unknown incidence postoperative need Subcutaneous should aim remove all gross parenchyma,...
Meningiomas involving both intradural and extradural structures are rare tumors. We report the complete resection of a massive complex transosseous meningioma that had invaded torcula, superior sagittal sinus, occipital bone, scalp.A 48-year-old male presented after 3 days worsening headaches blurry vision. Preoperative imaging demonstrated an 11 × 5-cm extra-axial mass avidly enhanced with gadolinium in region torcula. Angiography occlusion involved portions proximal left transverse sinus....
Ear reconstruction with osseointegrated prosthetic implants is a well-established method of after resection skin malignancies on the external ear. There limited literature reporting technique, outcomes, and patient satisfaction.We evaluated our outcomes over 5-year period looking at auriculectomy for ear malignancies. We report demographics, disease characteristics, complications. The patients were surveyed 6 domains: satisfaction, stability, comfort, ease use, level self-consciousness,...
Transgender and gender-diverse (TGD) people, individuals whose gender identity differs from their sex assigned at birth, face unique challenges in accessing gender-affirming care often experience disparities a variety of health outcomes. Clinical research on TGD is limited by lack standardization how to best identify these individuals. The objective this retrospective cohort analysis was accurately describe adults use 2003-2023 healthcare system Utah, United States. International...
High quality data regarding long-term clinical and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) of genital gender-affirming surgery (GGAS) are lacking, transgender non-binary (TGNB) community voices have not historically been included in research development. These factors limit the utility current for guiding patients, clinicians, payers, other GGAS stakeholders decision-making. The Transgender Non-Binary Surgery (TRANS) Registry has developed to meet needs address limitations traditional research.
Purpose: All genetically female at birth individuals are risk for developing breast cancer. No guidelines exist the surveillance of cancer in these patients particularly those choosing to undergo female-to-male transgender top surgery. We aim investigate current experiences and perioperative practices among American Society Plastic Surgery (ASPS) member surgeons performing Method: An anonymous, 19 question electronic survey was sent ASPS surgeons. General proportions were calculated from...
No guidelines exist regarding management of breast tissue for transmasculine and gender-nonconforming individuals. This study aims to investigate the experiences practices perioperative cancer risk among American Society Plastic Surgeons members performing chest masculinization surgery.An anonymous, online, 19-question survey was sent 2517 U.S.-based in October 2019.A total 69 responses were analyzed. High-volume surgeons more likely from academic centers (OR, 4.88; 95 percent CI, 1.67...
