Draft:Clitoroplasty

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Clitoroplasty is plastic surgery involving the clitoris.

Examples of clitoroplasty include clitoral reduction surgery used to treat clitoromegaly,[1] and the creation of a neoclitoris in male-to-female gender reassignment surgery.[2] In both cases, the surgeon tries to retain sensation and function.[1][2]
