Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Gynecological Surgery

Background:

  • Labiaplasty procedures have increased in the United States over the past decade.
  • The trim and wedge techniques are the most frequently employed methods for labiaplasty.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel trim-wedge algorithm designed to assist surgeons in choosing the optimal labiaplasty technique.
  • The algorithm aims to personalize surgical decisions based on individual patient attributes.

Main Methods:

  • The algorithm integrates patient-specific factors such as goals, substance use (nicotine/cocaine), and detailed labial characteristics.
  • Key physical characteristics include edge quality, texture, pigmentation, symmetry, protrusion morphology, and labial length.

Main Results:

  • The proposed algorithm offers a structured approach to selecting between trim and wedge labiaplasty techniques.
  • Consideration of individual patient factors is hypothesized to improve surgical outcomes and patient satisfaction.

Conclusions:

  • The trim-wedge algorithm provides a framework for optimizing labiaplasty technique selection.
  • Surgeon comfort and safety remain paramount, and the algorithm should complement, not dictate, surgical preference.
