Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo investigate the therapeutic effect of central wedge resection and asymmetric Z-plasty for minor labia reduction.
METHODSBased on the Giraldo procedure, the incision was designed and the redudent tissue was resected quantitatively. The Z-plasty was modified to rectangle flap with deviated incision. The incisions at the two surface of minor labia were designed in an opposited direction. The two rectangle flaps were inserted to form the free edge of minor labia.
RESULTS11 cases of minor labia hypertrophy were treated with good results.
CONCLUSIONSThe modified procedure is easily performed with precise design. It is suitable for all kinds of minor labia hypertrophy.
