A new and simplified method for concealing the hypertrophied clitoris

Clitoroplasty: past, present and future

This paper reviews the history of clitoral surgery throughout the twentieth century. The changing operations, from amputation through to attempts to produce a normal clitoris mirror the changing attitudes and available knowledge. It also examines the current issues that arise out of available data on long-term outcomes of clitoroplasty.

Reduction clitoroplasty: a technique for debulking the enlarged clitoris

Clitoral reduction, especially in an adult, is a rare procedure which often leaves the glans clitoris without the capacity for tactile sensation. We present the case of a 34-year-old woman with symptomatic clitoromegaly since puberty who underwent a clitoral reduction procedure designed to preserve the neurovascular supply of the glans clitoris. The surgical technique presented here removes the corpora cavernosa of the clitoris, but conserves important neurovascular attachments. While this procedure was done on an adult, it could just as easily be performed on children or adolescents with clitoromegaly, typically the at-risk group for this condition.

Subtunical total reduction clitoroplasty: a safe modification of existing techniques

Subtunical resection of hypertrophied cavernous tissue of the enlarged clitoris allows for maintenance of an intact blood supply to the glans and is an alternative safe method of diminishing shaft and glans size.
