Gynecomastia Surgery: Liposuction Alone versus Liposuction with Endoscope-Assisted Glandular Excision-A Comparative Study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Gynecomastia, affecting around 30% of young males, has seen evolving surgical treatments, transitioning from traditional excision methods to contemporary techniques like liposuction. Emotional distress persists when glandular tissue is inadequately addressed, prompting exploration of combined liposuction and glandular excision procedures. Materials and Methods: Patients undergoing gynecomastia surgery over a period of 2 years were assessed, considering their demographics, medical history, and gynecomastia grade. Surgical procedures involved liposuction alone or with glandular excision. Endoscopy was used to assess the presence of fibroglandular tissue and the need for glandular excision. Postoperative assessments, clinical photography, and patient questionnaires spanned a 6-month follow-up. Results: Thirty-two breasts (17 in liposuction alone and 15 in liposuction with glandular excision groups) were included. Liposuction alone led to bruising and two hematomas, and "puffy nipples" necessitating one redo surgery. Glandular excision resulted in four cases of crater deformity and one case each of superficial skin necrosis, hematoma, and seroma. Cosmetic evaluations showed similar outcomes, with the liposuction alone group having higher redo surgery rates. Conclusion: This study finds that combining liposuction with glandular excision delivers comparable cosmetic results to liposuction alone for gynecomastia. Despite added complexity, the combined approach proves effective and helps in decision-making, emphasizing the need for tailored techniques and ongoing research to optimize treatment strategies.
