Objectives: The aim of this study was to introduce a surgical technique to broadly improve the clitoral hood excess, reduction of the labia minora, and improving of the labia majora, when indicated.
Introduction: Background: Labia minora hypertrophy combined with redundant clitoral hood is a common complaint of women seeking cosmetic genital surgery for aesthetic, functional, and psychological reasons. The purpose of this study was to describe the “boomerang” technique, a surgical treatment of the clitoral prepuce laxity and redundancy on patients with discomfort in this region.
Materials / method: Methods: This retrospective review of medical records evaluated the outcomes and complications of 18 consecutive patients who underwent female genital cosmetic surgery (FGCS) with the “boomerang” resection for the clitoris hood excess between July 2017 and July 2018. All surgical procedures were performed by the same surgeon (T.T.).
Results: Results: The average age of patients who underwent surgery was 37 years old (range, 18-48). 94.44% of the patients had aesthetic complaints either associated or not with functional complaints and only one (5.56%) exceptionally had a functional complaint, dispareunia caused by labia minora hipertrophy. Three subjects had postoperative complications, as follows: one patient presented bruises on the labia majora, another one had a small asymmetry of the labia minora and a third one had insufficient resection of labia minora. 94,44% refered better sexual activity after the surgery.
Conclusion: Conclusion: The “boomerang” technique is reproducible, provides aesthetic benefits and improvement in sexual function to most patients with low complications rates.
