A Single-Center 10-Year Experience of 180 Transmasculine Patients Undergoing Gender-Affirming Mastectomy While Continuing Masculinizing Hormone Replacement Therapy.

Background: Gender-affirming mastectomy is a fundamental step in the transition process of transmasculine patients following the initiation of hormone replacement therapy. Its perioperative management, however, remains underreported and controversial. In this study, a large series of mastectomies in transmen maintaining hormonal therapy is presented.

Radial Forearm Free Flap Phalloplasty in Female-to-Male Transsexuals - A Comparison Between Gottlieb and Levine's and Chang and Hwang's Technique.

Background: Phalloplasty is a crucial part of female-to-male genital gender-affirming surgery, however, up to date, there is still no standardized phalloplasty technique.

Aim: To evaluate the outcome of a single-center series of phalloplasties using the free radial forearm flap variations by Chang and Hwang vs by Gottlieb and Levine on a similar number of transgender patients.

Methods: Between 2018 and 2020, 45 female to male transgender patients underwent phalloplasty using a neuro-microvascular free radial forearm flap in our department.

Age-dependent outcomes of Gillies and McLaughlin's dynamic muscle support in irreversible facial paralysis with up to 25-year follow-up.

The purpose of this study was to analyse the long-term outcomes of Gillies and McLaughlin's dynamic muscle support in patients with irreversible facial paralysis with regard to age-dependent outcomes of three different age groups. A retrospective single-centre study of 154 patients with surgical correction of irreversible facial paralysis that underwent either Gillies procedure or McLaughlin or a combination of both techniques between 1994-2018 was conducted. Gillies and McLaughlin's combination was performed in 69 cases and was the most commonly used procedure in middle-aged and older patients.

Twenty-Five-Year Outcomes of Treatment of Irreversible Facial Paralysis with Gillies and McLaughlin Techniques.

Introduction: Data on treatment outcomes of surgical correction of irreversible facial paralysis is rare and long-term outcomes are scarce in the literature, making treatment choices difficult for operating surgeons.

Objective: This study evaluated 25-year outcomes of treatment of irreversible facial paralysis with Gillies and McLaughlin techniques with a focus on general functional and age-related functional outcomes.

Methods: Data of all patients who underwent surgical correction of facial paralysis using either Gillies or McLaughlin procedure between 1994 and 2018 were included in the analysis of this retrospective, single-centre study (n = 154).

[Successful free microvascular radial artery flap for phalloplasty in case of a persistent median artery - Retrospective analysis of 48 patients and review of the literature].

Background:  Anomalies of the radial arterial system can be of importance during harvesting of a radial forearm flap. In particular when using the forearm flap for phalloplasty due to the required dimensions of the flap, sufficient arterial supply is of fundamental importance. In case of a persistent median artery perfusion conditions in the supply area of ​​the A.

[Microsurgical penile reconstruction in case of intersexuality and after penis carcinoma].

Background:  The goals of penile reconstruction and phalloplasty include aesthetics as natural as possible and the ability of patients to void while standing and to have sexual intercourse. This article presents two more rare indications and techniques, the phalloplasty using free radial forearm flapin case of intersexuality and after penectomy due to penis carcinoma.

Patients And Methods:  In transsexual individuals numerous phalloplasties in Gottlieb and Levine`s technique, by means phalloplasty of free radial forearm-flap of the non-dominant forearm, were performed in our department over the last few years.

Long-term outcomes of Gillies and McLaughlin's dynamic muscle support in irreversible facial paralysis: A retrospective single-centre study with 25-year follow-up.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term outcomes of Gillies and McLaughlin's dynamic muscle support with regard to functional outcomes and assess possible effects of comorbidities on both functional outcomes and reoperation and complication rates. A retrospective single-centre study was conducted in all patients (n = 154) who underwent surgical correction of irreversible facial paralysis from 1994 to 2018. Patients with either Gillies procedure or McLaughlin's dynamic muscle support or a combination of these techniques were included in the analysis.
