Article Abstract
Background: This study aimed to explore a novel and effective modified technique for the improvement in labia minora hypertrophy.
Methods: From January 2020 to December 2022, 25 patients with labia minora hypertrophy underwent surgical treatment using a modified mucosal advancement flap combined with a de-epithelialized mucosal flap for labia minora reduction. Postoperative follow-up ranged from 3 to 12 months.
Results: No hematoma or other adverse complications were observed in all 25 patients. All patients achieved good recovery and were satisfied with the postoperative appearance and function.
Conclusion: Surgical treatment using a modified mucosal advancement flap combined with a de-epithelialized mucosal flap is an effective method for labia minora hypertrophy with minimal neurovascular injury, a high rate of satisfaction with the postoperative appearance, and a low complication rate.

Under the hood: vulvar anatomy and pathology with a focus on MRI.

Vulvar anatomy and pathology can be a challenging subject to master, especially given the paucity of resources available on the subject. This review provides an overview of normal anatomy and imaging appearance of the vulva, including the mons pubis, labia majora, labia minora, clitoris, clitoral hood, external urethral meatus, vestibule and vaginal introitus, the Bartholin (greater vestibular) glands and the Skene (lesser vestibular or paraurethral) glands. We will also review the imaging appearance of various benign and malignant pathologies that affect these structures, including congenital adrenal hyperplasia, vulvar cancers, benign cysts, and urethral diverticula, with an emphasis on MR imaging.

Background: Female genital injuries are often underreported or misinterpreted, particularly in cases of sexual violence. Until now, most research has focused on injuries caused by sexual intercourse, while injuries arising from everyday activities or anatomical variations have received less attention. This study aims to document genital injuries in healthy women, regardless of sexual assault, in order to contribute to an understanding of genital injury patterns and improve forensic interpretation.

Background: The human microbiome includes trillions of microorganisms, with the vaginal microbiota playing a vital role in women's reproductive health. Concurrently, interest in vulvovaginal esthetic procedures (VVEP) is increasing. This study aimed to compare single and married or previously married women in terms of their knowledge of the human microbiome, particularly the vaginal microbiota, and their perceptions of VVEP.

Introduction: Hair-thread tourniquet syndrome (HTTS) is an uncommon yet potentially serious condition where strands of hair or thread constrict an appendage, leading to pain, swelling, and possible ischemia. Although more commonly observed in digits, it can occasionally affect external genitalia, particularly in the pediatric population, where involvement of structures such as the clitoris or labia is especially rare.
Case Presentation: We present a rare case of hair-thread tourniquet syndrome involving the clitoris in a 5-year-old girl.

A vulval leiomyoma is an uncommon, benign mass often misdiagnosed as a Bartholin cyst. Its precise etiology is currently unknown, though it typically arises from the deep connective tissue within the labia majora. Clinically, it presents as a slowly developing perineal mass, with pain and distress being the primary symptoms.
