Effects of Gynecomastia Surgery on Readiness and Return to Duty in an Active Duty Military Population
CONCLUSIONS: Gynecomastia surgery is associated with a detriment to personnel readiness. Surgery should be reserved for patients with severe symptoms that prevent the performance of daily duties. Furthermore, factors associated with an increased risk for complications include ranks E1-E5, behavioral health diagnosis, length of operation >58 minutes, and excised breast mass >17.9 g. The operating surgeon should be mindful of these factors.PMID:37995270 | DOI:10.1093/milmed/usad452 (Source: Military Medicine)
