Abstract
Background: Various surgical techniques have been devised for the surgical cosmetic enhancement of female outer genitalia. The selection of an optimal method should be based on satisfaction rates and safety; however, comprehensive, contemporary systematic assessment of these factors has been limited in the literature.
Objectives: Our aim was to conduct a comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the overall satisfaction rates and risk factors associated with various labiaplasty techniques and tools.
Methods: The authors performed a systematic literature search in 3 medical databases: PubMed, Elsevier, and Cochrane (Central) with the closing date of October 2023. Original articles with quantitative satisfaction rates and frequencies of the most common complications (hematoma, dehiscence, swelling, bleeding, and infection) were included.
Results: Systematic search provided a total of 3954 records. After selection and review of the articles, 86 eligible, peer-reviewed studies were identified, of which 53 provided quantitative data. High overall satisfaction rate was found for all methods (proportion [prop] 94%; confidence interval [CI] 93%-95%), with highest satisfaction for deepithelialization (prop 97%; CI, 85%-99%). Complications were generally rare, with elevated incidences for some techniques (wedge resection: dehiscence, prop, 8%, CI 5%-13%; and composite reduction: swelling, prop 13%, CI 2%-54%). Scalpel technique had significantly higher incidence of complications than laser, namely for bleeding, swelling, and hematoma.
Conclusions: Labiaplasty can be considered a generally effective approach to outer female genitalia beautification, with low associated risks. Surgeons must tailor their approach to the patients' needs and anatomy to achieve maximal satisfaction, given the differences in the frequency of complications for each method.
