Brought to you by the Society of Gynecologic Surgeons. In this video the surgeons suggest a new method of classifying the labia minora and majora into 3 groups based on the vertical height of the labia minora in relation to the height of the genital hiatus. They review vaginal distortion due to labial agglutination from chronic inflammation, a hypoestrogenic state, or local trauma. They then illustrate the use of hydrodissection to treat a 57-year-old woman with a history of recurrent labial agglutination due to lichen planus refractory to methotrexate and oral and topical steroids.
