Abstract

Gynecomastia is a common benign condition of the male breast, frequently observed in newborns, adolescents and the elderly. Surgical excision remains one of the most effective methods for the management of patients with gynecomastia, particularly those with fibrosis or a course of >1 year. The present study describes two cases of patients with gynecomastia and presents a novel method of treatment, combining endoscopic surgery and liposuction using a TriPort, which may effectively remove breast tissue and shorten hospitalization time compared with a direct excision method.
