Labioplasty for hypertrophic labia minora contributing to recurrent urinary tract infections.

Introduction: Reduction labioplasty for hypertrophic labia minora is often performed for aesthetic reasons by cosmetic vaginal surgeons. However, hypertrophy of the labia minora can also result in significant morbidity because it causes physical discomfort during activity and interferes with the ability to maintain local hygiene and perform intermittent self-catheterization in certain patients.

Objectives: We describe a case in which a commonly used technique for reduction labioplasty was performed on a patient who had difficulty performing intermittent catheterization and report on the aesthetic and functional outcomes.
