Abstract
Women with hypertrophic or enlarged labia minora usually have functional and psychosocial problems. Labial hypertrophy is defined as labia minora that extend beyond the labia majora when the woman is in a normal position. Many affected women have local irritation, interference with sexual intercourse, difficulty with hygiene, and discomfort during walking, sitting, biking or horse-riding. Several surgical techniques can be used to perform labioplasty. One of most common procedures is a simple and straight amputation of the protuberant segments and oversewing of the edge. To prevent the complications associated with this technique, we perform a specular S-shaped resection with interdigitated suturing of the protuberant labium. This technique results in a natural, softer, and more rounded labial edge, with fewer complications. We present our experience in 7 cases with successful outcomes.
