Abstract
INTRODUCTION: To describe a variant of clitoroplasty. TECHNICAL CONSIDERATIONS: Seven patients with virilized external genitalia were treated for a hypertrophied clitoris using this procedure. The principles of the technique include mobilization of the glans with its neurovascular bundle and an important symmetric reduction of the length and diameter of the corpora cavernosa, as well as the volume of the glans. CONCLUSIONS: The objective of this technique is to preserve the sensitive glans and to create an excellent cosmetic aspect for the clitoris.
