Single-incision surgery for gynecomastia using TriPort: A case report

Area of Science:

• Endocrinology
• Surgical Oncology
• Plastic Surgery

Background:

• Gynecomastia is a prevalent benign condition affecting the male breast.
• It commonly occurs in newborns, adolescents, and the elderly.
• Surgical excision is a primary treatment, especially for chronic or fibrotic cases.

Purpose of the Study:

• To describe two cases of gynecomastia management.
• To present a novel treatment combining endoscopic surgery and liposuction.
• To evaluate the efficacy of this new method.

Main Methods:

• A novel technique involving endoscopic surgery and liposuction using a TriPort was employed.
• This approach was used in two patients diagnosed with gynecomastia.
• Outcomes were compared to traditional direct excision methods.

Main Results:

• The combined endoscopic surgery and liposuction effectively removed breast tissue.
• This novel method demonstrated potential for shortening hospitalization time.
• The technique was effective in the presented cases of gynecomastia.

Conclusions:

• A novel endoscopic surgery and liposuction technique offers a promising treatment for gynecomastia.
• This minimally invasive approach may reduce recovery time and hospital stays.
• Further studies are warranted to confirm the long-term efficacy and benefits.
