Abstract

Background: Body contouring surgery for the removal of the 11th and 12th ribs is undertaken for aesthetic appeal in female and transgender populations. The potential adverse effects of the surgery on lung function and respiratory muscle strength have not been previously studied. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the effects of 'Ant-waist' surgery on lung function and respiratory muscle strength in individuals who had undergone surgery.

Methods: This was a cross-sectional study with two groups, an Anti-waist group who had undergone surgery and an age and gender matched control group. Participants performed lung function tests to determine measurements of FEV1, FVC, FEV1/FVC, PEF, MIP, and MEP. Independent t-tests were performed to determine between-group differences in outcomes and Pearson's correlation coefficients determined the relationship between lung function and respiratory muscle strength, and number of years since surgery.

Results: There was a significant between-group difference in FEV1 (-0.83; 95%CI -1.30, -0.36; p<0.001), FEV1%pred. (-34.91; 95%CI -48.92, -20.90; p<0.001), FVC%pred. (-22.73; 95%CI -32.84, -12.62; p<0.001), PEF%pred. (-44.18; 95%CI -61.52, -26.84; p<0.001) and MEP (-68.27; -102.48, -34.07; p<0.001). There were significantly large, negative correlations (r>0.5) between the number of years after surgery and FEV1 (p=0.002), FEV1%pred. (p=0.0001); and PEF%pred. (p=0.032).

Conclusions: This study has identified that aesthetic surgery for the removal of ribs 11 and 12 had a significant adverse effect on lung function and respiratory muscle strength in Jordanian females. The potential adverse effects should be carefully explained by surgeons to patients considering the surgery.

反腰手术对肺功能的不利影响：一项横断面研究。

背景：女性和变性人接受切除第 11 和第 12 根肋骨的身体塑形手术是为了美观。手术对肺功能和呼吸肌力量的潜在不良影响此前尚未进行过研究。因此，本研究旨在确定 "蚂蚁腰 "手术对已接受手术者的肺功能和呼吸肌力量的影响：这是一项横断面研究，分为两组，一组是接受过手术的 "反腰 "组，另一组是年龄和性别匹配的对照组。参与者进行肺功能测试，以确定 FEV1、FVC、FEV1/FVC、PEF、MIP 和 MEP 的测量值。通过独立 t 检验确定组间结果差异，通过皮尔逊相关系数确定肺功能与呼吸肌强度和手术后年数之间的关系：术后年数与 FEV1（P=0.002）、FEV1%pred.（P=0.0001）和 PEF%pred.（P=0.032）之间存在明显的组间差异（-0.83；95%CI-1.30，-0.36；P0.5）：本研究发现，切除第 11 和 12 根肋骨的美容手术对约旦女性的肺功能和呼吸肌力量有明显的不利影响。外科医生应向考虑手术的患者仔细解释潜在的不良影响。
