Clinical Observations of the Modified Wedge Resection in Composite Labia Minora and Clitoral Hood Reduction Surgery.
Article in Aesthetic plastic surgery, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThis study aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of a modified wedge resection technique for composite reduction of labia minora hypertrophy and redundant clitoral hood.
methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on patients who underwent the modified wedge resection procedure for concurrent labia minora and clitoral hood reduction at the Department of Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery, Women's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University (Nanjing Women and Children's Healthcare Hospital) between July 2019 and December 2024. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze patient demographics, self-reported symptoms, postoperative complications, symptom improvement, aesthetic satisfaction, and overall satisfaction.
resultsThe study included 738 patients with a mean age of 27.6 ± 6.1 years (range: 18-49). Preoperative motivations and symptoms primarily included vulvar friction discomfort (98.8%), aesthetic concerns (87.1%), dyspareunia (7.9%), and increased residual secretions (7.5%). The mean follow-up duration was 1.9 months (range: 1-6). Postoperative complications consisted of delayed wound healing (24 cases, 3.3%) and perceived asymmetry (10 cases, 1.4%). Preoperative symptoms improved in 99.3% of patients, and 99.2% were satisfied with the aesthetic outcome. Overall, 710 patients (96.2%) reported satisfaction with the surgical results.
conclusionThe modified wedge resection technique enables simultaneous correction of labia minora hypertrophy and redundant clitoral hood in a single procedure, yielding consistent and satisfactory aesthetic outcomes. This approach is straightforward, reproducible, and demonstrates favorable clinical safety. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV: This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.
