Summary
This study looks at two surgical treatments for moderate to severe gynecomastia (enlarged male breasts). One group gets standard laparoscopic surgery to remove breast tissue, while the other gets that plus a lift of the nipple-areola complex. Researchers will compare recovery, breast shape, and patient satisfaction in 200 men over 12 months.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Surgical procedure: total laparoscopic subcutaneous gland resection with or without nipple-areola complex lift
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could establish a better surgical approach for gynecomastia, improving cosmetic results and patient satisfaction.
- What could go wrong
- This is a single-center study with 200 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. Surgery carries risks like infection, scarring, or asymmetry.
