Subcutaneous mastectomy in female-to-male transsexuals – optimizing perioperative and operative management in 8 years clinical experience

The incidence of complications, especially acute hematoma requiring surgical revision in female-to-male transsexuals (FTMTS), is consistently highly documented in literature with up to 33 %. Since 2008 we perform subcutaneous mastectomies in FTMTS with an annually increasing number of cases. Due to an initially high hematoma revision rate in the previously published cohort (2008-2013), we implemented peri- and postoperative preventive measures and compared the results with recent patient cohort (2014-2016).
