Clitoroplasty for clitoromegaly due to adrenogenital syndrome without loss of sensitivity.

N Sagehashi1.   

Abstract

For preservation of postoperative sensitivity of the glans clitoris, clitoroplasty for clitoromegaly due to adrenogenital syndrome is reported. The operative technique includes the removal of ventral corporal tissue, taking care to avoid damage to the dorsal neurovascular bundle. A small lump of glandular tissue, which is connected with the neurovascular bundle, is left over and affixed to the pubic bone. Postoperative appraisal of patients in whom this technique has been applied is satisfactory. However, precise assessment of glandular sensation is not possible because of the patients' young ages. Follow-up investigation at puberty is necessary for a final, proper appraisal.
