    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Endocrinology
    • Genitourinary Surgery

    Background:

    • Congenital clitoral hypertrophy requires surgical correction in infancy.
    • Current surgical options include total clitorectomy and clitoral recession.
    • These methods have limitations and can lead to patient dissatisfaction.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a new surgical technique for congenital clitoral hypertrophy.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of preserving blood supply and sensation.
    • To achieve a near-normal perineal appearance.

    Main Methods:

    • A subcutaneous resection of the corpora cavernosa was performed.
    • The glans was sutured to the pubis.
    • The procedure was applied to five cases of clitoral hypertrophy associated with adrenogenital syndrome.

    Main Results:

    • The described surgical technique preserves blood supply and sensation.
    • Postoperative results showed a near-normal perineal appearance.
    • The procedure was successfully performed in five patients.

    Conclusions:

    • This surgical approach offers a viable alternative for congenital clitoral hypertrophy.
    • It addresses the limitations of existing procedures by preserving function and aesthetics.
    • Further investigation and wider application of this technique are suggested.
