1st ed. 2019 Edition
by Dan mon O´Dey (Author)
This book describes essential
operative techniques that can be used to anatomically reconstruct the
outer female genital in acquired deformities derived from ritual genital
mutilation/cutting, and diseases causing similar deforming defects.
Following an introduction with general insights on the topic, the main
chapters deal with basic considerations and special anatomical
information. With the help of high-quality videos and images, the reader
receives detailed instructions on clitoral and vulvar reconstruction
with techniques invented by the author, named the NMCS-procedure, the
OD-flap and the aOAP-flap procedures. The book is rounded out with
chapters describing postoperative care and how to manage complications.
The
integrity of their outer genitals is important for patients’ physical
and psychological wellbeing. As such, the vulva is now receiving
increasing attention and will likely continue to grow in importance in
plastic surgery. The author, who has developed outstanding procedures
for vulvar and clitoral reconstruction over the years, shares his
considerable experience and hopes to highlight the importance of these
methods to overcome the burden of female genital mutilation/cutting.
