Abstract：Objective To investigate the clinical application of the diamond-shaped flap in the interlabial groove,combined with edge excision for the treatment of labial hypertrophy,combined with lateral clitoral hood hypertrophy.Methods From October 2023 to December 2024,56 patients with labial hypertrophy and lateral clitoral hood hypertrophy were treated at the Department of Medical Aes-thetics,Maternal and Child Health Hospital of Hubei Province.All patients underwent the diamond-shaped flap in the interlabial groove to remove the hypertrophic clitoral hood,while marginal excision was used to reduce the hypertrophic labia minora.Results All patients had primary healing after the surgery,and were followed up for 3 to 6 months.There was no infection,necrosis,or post hematoma of the labia minora and clitoral prepuce.All patients were satisfied with the shape of the labia minora and clitoral prepuce.Conclusion For patients with labial hypertrophy combined with lateral clitoral hood hypertrophy,the diamond-shaped flap in the interlabial groove combined with edge excision offers effective simultaneous aesthetic correction.The method is simple,has few complications,and provides high satisfaction in both function and appearance post-surgery.
