简要总结
50 patients seeking gender affirming mastectomy will be treated with different closure techniques in each side of their chest - one side will receive progressive tension sutures between pectoral fascia and the mastectomy flap, and the other side will not. Both sides will have drains in the mastectomy site. Rates of hematoma, seroma, and other complications will be compared between each chest side via standard statistical techniques for hypothesis testing.
