The challenge lies in the correction of deformity with minimal marks and also in not damaging the lactiferous ducts, which will interfere with future breastfeeding.Aim:To provide a relatively simple technique, which can be easily performed as an outpatient procedure with minimal complications.Materials and Methods:A total of 11 patients were treated with this technique of which 5 patients had bilateral inverted nipples.Results:We had no recurrence and the follow-up period was of minimal of 1 year. One patient had mild stitch infection, which healed conservatively with antibiotics.Conclusion:The pursestring technique described offers a simple surgical option for the treatment of nulliparous women with nipple inversion.
