A clitoral cyst of 'epidermal' proportions

Author and Disclosure Information

Brought to you by the Society of Gynecologic Surgeons. In this video, the surgeons demonstrate the management of a large clitoral cyst causing anorgasmia. They highlight the neurovascular anatomy of the clitoris and surgical techniques that avoid injury to the dorsal clitoral nerve and demonstrate a technique for reconstruction of the labia minora and clitoral hood that restores normal anatomy and provides an excellent cosmetic result. Meticulous dissection and a clear understanding of clitoral anatomy allows for safe surgical removal of clitoral masses, which may be necessary to restore sexual function.
