Modified Mucosal Advancement Flap Combined With De-Epithelialized Mucosal Flap for Labia Minora Hypertrophy.

BACKGROUND

This study aimed to explore a novel and effective modified technique for the improvement in labia minora hypertrophy.

METHODS

From January 2020 to December 2022, 25 patients with labia minora hypertrophy underwent surgical treatment using a modified mucosal advancement flap combined with a de-epithelialized mucosal flap for labia minora reduction. Postoperative follow-up ranged from 3 to 12 months.

RESULTS

No hematoma or other adverse complications were observed in all 25 patients. All patients achieved good recovery and were satisfied with the postoperative appearance and function.

CONCLUSION

Surgical treatment using a modified mucosal advancement flap combined with a de-epithelialized mucosal flap is an effective method for labia minora hypertrophy with minimal neurovascular injury, a high rate of satisfaction with the postoperative appearance, and a low complication rate.
