All procedures were performed for functional reasons. The mean [standard deviation] operative time was 61.75 [20.77] minutes (range, 38-114 minutes). Unilateral labia minora hematoma within 24 hours occurred in 2 of the 12 patients (16.7%) and surgical evacuations were performed immediately. All patients were followed up electronically at 42.33 [16.88] months (range, 14-67 months). Notably, 83.33% (10\/12) of patients reported being very satisfied, and 16.67% (2\/12) of patients were satisfied. There was no patient dissatisfaction. Preoperative discomfort was completely resolved in 9 patients (75.00%) and significantly improved in 3 patients (25.00%). Furthermore, no patients indicated that symptoms were not improved or made worse.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>In the adolescent population, severe hypertrophy of the labia minora and the clitoral hood will cause discomfort, affecting the quality of life and mental health.
