Cross-Sectional Research

12.5K
In cross-sectional research, a researcher compares multiple segments of the population at the same time. If they were interested in people's dietary habits, the researcher might directly compare different groups of people by age. Instead of following a group of people for 20 years to see how their dietary habits changed from decade to decade, the researcher would study a group of 20-year-old individuals and compare them to a group of 30-year-old individuals and a group of 40-year-old...

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Facial Feminization Surgery

Background:

  • Masculine facial features include strong mandibular angles and a prominent chin.
  • Surgical feminization aims to alter these features for a more feminine appearance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel surgical technique for mandibular feminization.
  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of this new osteotomy method.

Main Methods:

  • A specific interdental midline osteotomy combined with chin symphysis osteotomy and lateral mandibular border resection was developed.
  • The technique allows for reduction of intergonial, mandibular border, and chin widths upon midline defect closure.

Main Results:

  • Five patients underwent the mandibular feminization osteotomy between November 2016 and August 2017.
  • Follow-up ranged from 6-13 months, with all patients expressing satisfaction.
  • No dental, periodontal, or temporomandibular joint complications were observed.

Conclusions:

  • The described mandibular feminization osteotomy is a viable surgical option.
  • It offers an alternative to existing procedures like buccal decortication and chin reduction osteotomy.
