Description
Summary:ABSTRACT Clitoral hypertrophy is a condition that has a negative impact on a womans intimate life and can cause embarrassment and impact on her sexual life. The article describes a surgical technique of clitoroplasty performed with a 360° circumferential subcoronal incision only in the skin and Dartos tunica to avoid neuronal damage, followed by degloving to the base of the clitoris, preserving the dorsal neurovascular bundle. The body of the clitoris was amputated, preserving 0.5 cm of the stump of the clitoral shaft, and the glans was sutured to the rest of the remaining spongy tissue. Finally, it is noteworthy that there were no complaints of loss of sensitivity or sexual dysfunctions post-operatively.
