Currently, the most common postoperative complications of the regular central wedge (RV) resection technique are wound dehiscence and scar contracture. <b><i>Methods:<\/i><\/b> A case-control study was applied to randomly divide 119 patients with labia minora hypertrophy deformities into 2 groups: new central wedge (NV) (<i>n<\/i> = 57) and RV (<i>n<\/i> = 62). All patients underwent the corresponding corrective surgery to repair the deformity. During the NV procedure, we changed the direction of the scalpel to form 2 inclined sections and sutured these sections together to achieve nonparallel closure lines. The patients in the 2 groups were followed up at 1 and 6 months postoperatively. We described the details of this method and evaluated the treatment outcomes of the 2 groups. <b><i>Results:<\/i><\/b> Patient age, labia minora width, and procedure time were not significantly different between the 2 groups (<i>p<\/i> &#x3e; 0.05). However, the visual analog scale (VAS) scores in the 2 groups were significantly different (<i>p<\/i> &#x3c; 0.05). Two patients in the NV group were somewhat dissatisfied because of lymphoedema and asymmetry; 6 patients in the RV group expressed dissatisfaction with scarring, healing complications, and asymmetry. A minor corrective operation was performed for asymmetry, and the dehiscence healed spontaneously. The patient with edema is still being followed up. <b><i>Conclusion:<\/i><\/b> The surgical method we introduced was indicated to be a simple and effective procedure that avoided wound dehiscence and scar contracture, which are common with the regular approach. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000513402","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,29]],"date-time":"2021-03-29T21:06:13Z","timestamp":1617051973000},"page":"257-263","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["A New Concept for Central Wedge Resection in Labiaplasty"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"86","author":[{"given":"Shuai","family":"Qiang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fengyong","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yu","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yujiao","family":"Cao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Meichen","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ye","family":"Yuan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zhen","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Qiang","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/PRS.0000000000005883"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/PRS.0000000000001000"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/nrurol.2018.1"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/asj\/sjy109"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00000637-199803000-00016"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00006534-200004040-00030"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00006534-198409000-00015"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/PRS.0b013e31818a9b25"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.asj.2008.12.003"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000493130"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1471-0528.2011.03088.x"},{"key":"ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1471-0528.2009.02426.x"},{"key":"ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.asj.2008.12.003"},{"key":"ref14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00266-009-9454-5"},{"key":"ref15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00266-013-0149-6"},{"key":"ref16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/s0002-9378(00)70488-1"},{"key":"ref17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00266-009-9454-5"},{"key":"ref18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/PRS.0b013e3181cb68a4"},{"key":"ref19","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1090820X13494755"},{"key":"ref20","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/PRS.0b013e31818a9b25"},{"key":"ref21","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/PRS.0000000000001394"},{"key":"ref22","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/ijgc-2019-000420"},{"key":"ref23","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/08941939.2019.1695987"}],"container-title":["Gynecologic and Obstetric Investigation"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/513402","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/513402","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,23]],"date-time":"2025-04-23T16:14:10Z","timestamp":1745424850000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000513402"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2021]]},"references-count":23,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,20]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,10]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000513402","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{"is-supplemented-by":[{"id-type":"doi","id":"10.6084\/m9.figshare.14191244","asserted-by":"subject"}]},"ISSN":["0378-7346","1423-002X"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0378-7346","type":"print"},{"value":"1423-002X","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2021]]}}}
