Effect of Suture Material on Postoperative Nipple Areolar Complex Widening
Breast CancerGynecomastia2 moreThis will be a single-blinded study where participants are blinded to the suture type but the surgeon will draw a random, unmarked envelope containing the designated suture type at the start of the surgery. The patient population will be all patients undergoing breast surgery at the London Health Sciences Center (LHSC) - ie. University Hospital, Victoria Hospital and the Nazem Kadri Surgical Center, and St. Joseph's Hospital. Three (3) main procedure groups will be transgender gender-affirming top surgery, cisgender female breast reduction or augmentation (including healthy and cancer patients; subgroup analysis will be performed), and cisgender male gynecomastia surgery. The goal is n=180 patients, n=60 per type of suture with n=20 per type of procedure (totaling n=60 per type of procedure). NAC width for each breast will be measured intraoperatively, at 2 weeks postop, 6 weeks postop, 3 months postop, and 6 months postop. These measurements will be deidentified and logged into a secure data entry form. Information on whether a secondary outcome occurred (ie. infection, dehiscence, revision and nipple necrosis) will be logged in this form as well. Because the sutures will be kept non-visible under dressings until the clinical followup appointment 2 weeks postop, the patient will remain blinded as to the type of suture used on their NAC(s). At this point, absorbable sutures will have been largely dissolved and non-absorbable sutures will be removed.
Casodex - Nolvadex Combination
GynaecomastiaProstate CancerThis study looks at the relationship in the dose of nolvadex and the incidence of gynaecomastia and also Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) inhibition when co-administered with Casodex. The aim of the study is to assess the optimal dose of nolvadex which will reduce the breast tissue adverse effects without reducing the efficacy of Casodex.
Open Label Arimidex in Gynecomastia
GynecomastiaThe purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, effectiveness, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of anastrozole (ARIMIDEX™) in the treatment of boys with gynecomastia.
Renuvion APR System When Used as an Adjunct Procedure In Gynecomastia Surgery
GynecomastiaThis is a prospective, multi-center, single-blinded, randomized study of up to 10 study subjects undergoing bilateral gynecomastia surgery with Renuvion APR System used as an adjunct procedure on one side. The study will be conducted at up to 3 investigational centers in the United States.
Gynecomastia Extension Study
GynecomastiaThe purpose of this study is to look at the effect of anastrozole (ZD1033, Arimidex™) in reducing gynecomastia in pubertal boys treated with placebo in Trial 1033US/0006 (another anastrozole study).
Modified Benelli Procedure For Subcutaneous Mastectomy
GynecomastiaSurgical IncisionThe study included 150 patients with gynecomastia (Grade II and III) for the period between January 2010 and January 2016 who attended private hospitals and Al- Kindy Teaching Hospital. The patients were divided into two groups according to the operative techniques used. Group A included 75 patients treated surgically with subcutaneous mastectomy using periareolar incision. Group B; included the other 75 patients who were managed by "modified Benelli technique". The subcutaneous mastectomy using "modified Benelli technique" showed a significantly lower operating time due to ample access for excision of breast tissue. Excision of excess skin allowed the areola to retain a cosmetically more acceptable position. There was a lot of pleating of the skin compared to the other technique using the periareolar incision.
Nitropaste in Breast Reduction
GynecomastiaDelayed Wound HealingThe purpose of this study is evaluate the effect of Nitroglycerin paste on wound healing and scarring. Previous research has shown that Nitroglycerin paste can improve the blood flow to a wound, which may be associated with better wound healing, and ultimately, better scarring.

Thoracic Interfascial Plane Block Versus Thoracic Paravertebral Block in Gynecomastia Surgery
GynecomastiaThoracic Interfascial Plane Block2 moreThe growing increase in the number of gynecomastia surgeries has resulted in an increased need for anesthetic techniques with improved pain reduction, safety, and fewer complications. The aim of this work is to compare the efficacy of ultrasound guided thoracic interfascial plane block and ultrasound guided thoracic paravertebral block for anesthesia in gynecomastia surgery.
