title: Two-stage posterior cross-labial transposition flap: a novel technique for labium minus reconstruction.
abstract: Distinctive asymmetry of the labia minora is an underestimated complication that can be congenital, post-traumatic, or occur after oncological intervention or aesthetic labioplasty. Affected women can be restricted functionally and in their sense of self-worth, aesthetic appearance and sexual life. In presenting this case of post-oncological labia minora asymmetry, we demonstrate our method of the two-stage posterior cross-labial transposition flap as a reliable technique for unilateral labium minus reconstruction.
