Abstract Background Penile skin inversion vaginoplasty (PIV) and sigmoid colon vaginoplasty (SCV) are both regarded as surgical options for gender reassignment surgery (GRS) to improve quality of life (QoL) in male-to-female (MTF) individuals. As no studies have compared the QoL between PIV and SCV techniques, this study aimed to evaluate the differences in QoL among MTF individuals who received PIV and SCV. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted on patients who underwent GRS using PIV and SCV techniques at King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital (KCMH) from January 2002 to December 2022. The calibrated Thai version of Short-Form 36-Question Health Survey version 2 (SF-36v2) was used to assess QoL across eight health domains and to compare QoL between two surgical techniques. Results Of the 278 eligible MTF patients, who received GRS from 2002 to 2022, 57 completed the questionnaires; 37 and 20 MTF patients underwent PIV and SCV, respectively. Statistically significant difference was found in the Mental Component Summary ( p -value = 0.02) of postoperative QoL between the two groups. SCV statistically outperformed PIV in seven out of eight domains. Conclusion In terms of QoL, MTF who underwent SCV showed better achievement than those who underwent PIV in most of the domains. Due to limitations of this study, further studies on a larger scale are needed to confirm the findings and compare other aspects of the surgical techniques. Level of Evidence: Level III, Therapeutic.

Abstract Background Breast anthropometry research, evaluating the correlation between various breast anthropometric values with each other, is of great importance to the field of cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. The research aims to describe the anthropometric features of the breasts of young Vietnamese women and compare them with other women’s groups worldwide. Methods The study was conducted on 128 nulliparous Vietnamese women, aged 18–25, with body mass index within the range of 18.5–25 kg/m 2 . Nineteen research indexes were divided into 3 groups: group 1 (general anthropometric indexes—3 indexes), group 2 (indexes related to the chest and breast—7 indexes), and group 3 (purely breast indexes—9 indexes). The breast volume was calculated according to the formula of author Qiao 1 : V = 3.14/3 * MP 2 * (LR + MR + IR − MP) (ml). Results The mean age was 18.6 ± 6, and the mean BMI was 21 ± 1.6 kg/m 2 . The mean breast volumes on the right and left were 437.1 ± 266.8 ml and 457 ± 259.7 ml, respectively. The left breast volume was significantly larger than the right. The mean areola diameter was 3.4 ± 0.6 cm. There was a strong correlation ( r > 0.5) between breast volume and 8 indexes: breast projection, medial mammary radius, nipple-inframammary fold length, lateral mammary radius, right suprasternal notch-to-nipple distance, chest circumference through the nipple, breast base width, and mid-clavicular point-to-nipple distance. There was no correlation between height and breast volume. Conclusions This study contributes valuable data to the breast anthropometry database of young, nulliparous Vietnamese women, which could be effectively applied in cosmetic and reconstructive breast surgery in addition to existing literature. Level of Evidence: Level III, Diagnostic; Risk/Prognostic.
