A Retrospective Study for Labia Minora Reduction by Serrated-shaped Resection.

Area of Science:

• Genital plastic surgery
• Female reconstructive surgery
• Gynecological procedures

Background:

• Global demand for genital plastic surgery, particularly labia minora reduction, is rising.
• Current labia minora reduction techniques have limitations, lacking a universally accepted standard.
• An innovative approach for this reconstructive procedure is presented.

Purpose of the Study:

• To evaluate the efficacy and safety of serrated-shaped resection for hypertrophic labia minora.
• To assess patient satisfaction and complication rates following the procedure.

Main Methods:

• Retrospective study of 29 patients with hypertrophic labia minora.
• Procedure performed: labia minora reduction via serrated-shaped resection.
• Evaluation of patient satisfaction and complications through follow-up.

Main Results:

• High overall patient satisfaction reported after a median 6.7-month follow-up.
• Low complication rate: one case each of incision dehiscence, cosmetic asymmetry, and urinary retention.
• No instances of flap necrosis, sexual dysfunction, or hypertrophic scarring.

Conclusions:

• Serrated-shaped resection is an effective novel technique for hypertrophic labia minora repair.
• The procedure achieves high patient satisfaction and reduces complications.
• It offers an improved aesthetic outcome for the labia minora.
