Abstract:
Conventional reduction clitoroplasty often leaves the glans clitoris without tactile sensation. Several clitoroplasty methods have been reported, but only a few describes preservation of dorsal neurovascular bundles. We present the case of 20-year- old female with symptomatic clitoromegaly since puberty, who underwent a clitoral reduction designed to preserve the neurovascular supply of the glans clitoris. The cosmetic outcome was excellent on postoperative examination and the patient reported normal sensation 6 months later. Preservation of?dorsal vascular pedicles showed a satisfactory result in sexually mature women.
