The clitoris, a highly sensitive part of female genitalia, is comparable to the penis in males in terms of sexual stimulation. It is partially or completely covered by the clitoral hood, forming the upper arch of the labia minora. The clitoral hood is composed of mucocutaneous tissue, similar to the foreskin in males.
- Clitoroplasty is a plastic surgery procedure performed for both functional and cosmetic reasons, including:
- Reducing the size of an enlarged clitoris due to conditions like polycystic ovarian syndrome or medication side effects
- Correcting congenital birth defects such as an abnormal clitoris, shallow vagina, or unclear genitalia
- Reducing the size of the clitoral hood to enhance or restore sexual stimulation
- Managing injuries to the clitoral hood or clitoris
- Gender reassignment surgery
- Enhancing the aesthetic appearance of the genital area
Clitoroplasty Surgical Procedures
Clitoroplasty is a straightforward procedure, typically taking less than an hour and performed under local anesthesia. Patients can usually return to normal activities within two to three days.
Clitoroplasty Surgical Methods
The surgical technique used depends on the purpose of the procedure, such as correcting congenital defects, reducing length, or reconstruction.
Clitoral Hood Reduction:
This common technique involves removing excess tissue and pulling the clitoris upwards to achieve the desired size and appearance. The surgeon then stitches the area from underneath, preserving the neurovascular bundle and the appearance of the clitoral glans.
Clitoral Shaft:
An alternative technique where surgeons create a bend in the clitoral shaft, reducing the length of the clitoral hood while maintaining the normal appearance of female genitals. This method minimizes blood loss and preserves neurovascular supply.
Clitoral Reconstruction Surgery:
Commonly involves separating the male penile glans from erectile tissues and reducing the size and appearance to resemble a woman’s clitoris. The final appearance may differ from normal.
