title: [Central wedge resection and asymmetric Z-plasty for minor labia reduction].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the therapeutic effect of central wedge resection and asymmetric Z-plasty for minor labia reduction.
  
  
  METHODS
  Based on the Giraldo procedure, the incision was designed and the redudent tissue was resected quantitatively. The Z-plasty was modified to rectangle flap with deviated incision. The incisions at the two surface of minor labia were designed in an opposited direction. The two rectangle flaps were inserted to form the free edge of minor labia.
  
  
  RESULTS
  11 cases of minor labia hypertrophy were treated with good results.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The modified procedure is easily performed with precise design. It is suitable for all kinds of minor labia hypertrophy.
