The Thyroid Gland01:23

The Thyroid Gland

4.1K
The thyroid gland is a small, butterfly-shaped gland located in the neck and covers the anterior surface of the trachea. The gland has two lateral lobes connected by a thin tissue mass called the isthmus. Internally, each lobe comprises many small spherical structures known as thyroid follicles, surrounded by a network of blood vessels.
The follicles have a central cavity lined by simple cuboidal to squamous epithelial cells called follicular cells. These cells produce the glycoprotein...

Synthesis and Regulation of Thyroid Hormones

4.8K
Low blood levels of the thyroid hormones — triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) — signal the hypothalamus to release the thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH). TRH then reaches the pituitary gland and stimulates the release of thyroid-stimulating hormone(TSH) into the bloodstream.
Upon reaching the thyroid gland, TSH stimulates the follicular cells' active uptake of iodide ions from the blood. The ions diffuse to the apical surface of the cells and are oxidized to iodine. The...

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Otolaryngology
  • Gender Affirming Surgery

Background:

  • Traditional feminization laryngochondroplasty (FLC) methods can leave visible neck scars, which may be undesirable for patients undergoing gender reassignment surgery.
  • Endoscopic transoral FLC avoids neck scars but requires specialized equipment and a steep learning curve.
  • A vestibular incision, used in facial feminization, can be extended for direct FLC, offering a novel approach.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of a novel, minimally invasive direct transvestibular feminization laryngochondroplasty (DTV-FLC) technique.
  • To assess cosmetic and functional outcomes of DTV-FLC, particularly when performed in conjunction with lower-third facial feminization surgery.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective cohort study reviewed medical records of patients who underwent DTV-FLC between December 2019 and September 2021.
  • Data collected included operative details, postoperative course, complications, and functional and cosmetic results.
  • Patient satisfaction and blinded assessment by plastic surgeons were used to evaluate success.

Main Results:

  • Nine transgender women underwent DTV-FLC, with seven procedures performed during lower-third facial feminization surgery.
  • Transient minor complications were resolved within 1-2 months postoperatively.
  • Vocal fold function and voice quality were preserved, with eight patients reporting satisfaction and seven procedures deemed successful by blinded surgeons.

Conclusions:

  • The direct transvestibular FLC (DTV-FLC) approach provides a scar-free method for feminization laryngochondroplasty.
  • This technique, whether isolated or combined with facial feminization, yields satisfactory cosmetic and functional results.
  • DTV-FLC represents a promising advancement in surgical options for transgender women seeking voice feminization.
