BACKGROUND: Gender-affirming mastectomies are a growing necessity for transgender and gender-diverse patients. The preoperative evaluation and surgical outcome must be tailored to the individual, taking into consideration previous medical history, medications, hormonal therapy, patient anatomy, and expectations. Although non-binary patients constitute a significant portion of patients referring for gender-affirming mastectomies, current literature rarely acknowledges them as a separate patient category from trans-masculine patients.
METHODS: Retrospective cohort, demonstrating the single-surgeon experience with gender-affirming mastectomies over the course of 2 decades.
RESULTS: A total of 208 patients were included in this cohort, patients identifying as "non-binary" in gender accounted for 30.8% of the cohort. Non-binary patients were found to be younger (P value<0.001) at the time of surgery, at the time of HRT initiation (P value<0.001), at the first feeling of gender dysphoria, coming out to society, and use of non-female pronouns (P value = 0.04,<0.001 and<0.001, accordingly). In the non-binary patient group, a shorter period of time passed from the first feeling of gender dysphoria to initiation of HRT and surgery (P value<0.001 and<0.001, accordingly). However, the average time from HRT initiation to surgery and from the first use of non-female pronouns to HRT initiation or surgery did not statistically differ (P value= 0.34, 0.06, and 0.08, accordingly).
CONCLUSION: Non-binary patients demonstrate a significantly different timeline from trans-masculine patients in terms of gender development. In order to accommodate their needs, caregivers must take the information into consideration and develop appropriate guidelines and courses of action.
