[Gynecomastia: diagnostic and surgical approach in the treatment of 61 patients].
Gynaecomastia is a disease with a high incidence (approximately 65% of adult males between 15 and 40 Ys.). In this paper the authors present their experience about the medical and surgical treatment comparing different surgical techniques: adenomammectomy, liposuction and liposuction associated with adenomammectomy. 61 patients ageing 17-42 Ys. (54 with bilateral gynaecomastia and 7 with monolateral disease) were, treated in the Dept. of Plastic Surgery of the Niguarda Ca' Granda Hospital in Milan from 1985 up to 1995. 26 patients were treated with adenomammectomy; Suction assisted lipectomy was used alone in 4 cases and associated with adenomammectomy in 34 cases. The authors suggest that the associated method is the most effective, the aesthetic results being excellent with an important reduction of post-operative complications (mostly referred as haematoma, seroma).
