Background: How much labial tissue should be left after labiaplasty is a controversial issue. Objectives: The objective was to investigate the effect of residual labial tissue following labiaplasty operations on sexual function. Methods: A total of 150 females who underwent labiaplasty between 2019 and 2021 and their partners were included in the study. In this retrospective study, linear labiaplasty technique was applied according to the patient's request. Patients were either below 1 cm or above 1 cm according to the remaining labial width at follow-up. The remaining labial tissues were classified according to the Motakef classification. Patients with a labial width above 1 cm were included in Group 1, and patients with a labial width below 1 cm were included in Group 2. Sexual function, sexual experience, body image, and erectile function of their partners were compared preoperatively and 2 years postoperatively with appropriate questionnaires. Results: Sexual function, sexual experience, and body image of females improved in all patients. However, the improvement was more apparent with with remaining labial tissue of greater than 1 cm. The increase in the survey results of the partners was found to be similar. Conclusions: The sexual function of the patients was better when the width of the labium was longer than 1 cm. This may be due to better protection of the neurovascular structures. This favorable effect was also seen in the subjective evaluation of the partners. Level of Evidence: 3:

Background: Labiaplasty, which has become increasingly popular in recent years, is chosen by women for both cosmetic and functional reasons. It creates significant changes in female sexuality, resulting in high satisfaction rates, but there are limited data on its effects on male sexual response. Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of labiaplasty on partners. Methods: The partners of 49 patients who underwent labiaplasty between January 2020 and May 2023 were included in the study. Male Sexual Health Questionnaire Ejaculatory Dysfunction (MSHQ-EjD), Golombok-Rust Sexual Satisfaction Scale, and New Sexual Satisfaction Scale questionnaires were administered to the partners preoperatively and 6 months postoperatively. Results: There was no significant difference between preoperative and postoperative responses to the MSHQ-EjD questionnaire. The postoperative increase in the New Sexual Satisfaction Scale compared with the preoperative score was statistically significant. Statistically significant positive changes were observed postoperatively in the Golombok-Rust Sexual Satisfaction Scale categories of intercourse frequency, communication, satisfaction, and nature of sexual intercourse. Conclusions: Labiaplasty operation had positive effects on male sexual response but had no effect on ejaculation function and difficulty. Level of Evidence: 3:

Background: Female genital cosmetic procedures, particularly labiaplasty, have become increasingly popular due to rising concerns about both aesthetic dissatisfaction and functional limitations. Enlarged or asymmetric labia may result in physical discomfort, hygiene-related problems, or reduced sexual satisfaction. Although labiaplasty is believed to improve genital self-image, emotional well-being, and sexual functioning, studies employing validated psychometric tools to assess these outcomes remain limited. Objectives: In this study we aimed to evaluate the psychological, functional, and sexual outcomes of labiaplasty in women, focusing on changes in genital self-perception, depression levels, sexual function, and overall quality of sexual life. Methods: A total of 48 women, ages between 21 and 52 years, who underwent labiaplasty were included in the study. Standardized instruments including the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Female Genital Self-Image Scale (FGSIS), Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), Quality of Sexual Experience scale (QSE), and Sexual Quality of Life Questionnaire–Female (SQoL-F) were administered before and after surgery to assess multidimensional outcomes. Results: The leading reasons for seeking labiaplasty were labial asymmetry (47.9%), low self-esteem (41.7%), and negative partner experiences (10.4%). Postoperative scores revealed significant improvements in all assessed domains. BDI scores decreased significantly (P = .037), and FGSIS, FSFI, QSE, and SQoL-F scores increased markedly (P < .001 for each), reflecting enhanced genital self-image, sexual function, and quality of life. Conclusions: Labiaplasty appears to offer meaningful benefits beyond aesthetics, contributing to improved psychological well-being and sexual health. These findings support its value as a functional and psychosocially beneficial intervention in appropriately selected patients. Level of Evidence: 4 (Therapeutic):

Background: Labiaplasty improves women's genital self-image, sexual function, and mental well-being, while enhancing male partners' sexual satisfaction and couples’ overall sexual harmony. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate women with physical and functional complaints about the labium minus and the effects of labiaplasty on women's genital self-perception, sexual function, and psychological state, and the sexual satisfaction levels of their male partners. Methods: Ninety-seven women who underwent labiaplasty between January 2021 and June 2024 and their partners were included in the study. The Beck Depression Inventory, Female Sexual Function Index, Quality of Sexual Experience Scale, Female Genital Self-Image Scale, and Sexual Quality of Life–Female questionnaires were administered to women before and after labiaplasty. The Male Sexual Health Questionnaire–Ejaculatory Dysfunction, Golombok–Rust Sexual Satisfaction Scale, and New Sexual Satisfaction Scale were administered to male partners. Preoperative and postoperative data were compared for participants who were seen 1 year postoperatively. Results: In female participants, significant improvements were found in genital self-perception, sexual function, sexual pleasure, lubrication, orgasm, and overall quality of sexual life, and a statistically significant decrease in depression scores was observed. In male partners, ejaculatory function remained constant, but positive changes were found in general sexual satisfaction, impotence, premature ejaculation, and satisfaction levels. Conclusions: Labiaplasty provides significant gains in not only aesthetics but also psychological and sexual well-being in women, and indirectly positively affects the quality of sexual life of male partners. It is thought that surgical intervention can increase sexual harmony in couple relationships as well as individual satisfaction. Level of Evidence: : 4 (Therapeutic)

Background and Objectives: Preeclampsia, a pregnancy-induced hypertensive disorder, shares cardiovascular characteristics in etiology, prognosis, and fetomaternal risks. Electrocardiography plays a pivotal role in assessing cardiovascular risks. Beyond conventional predictors, identifying easily obtainable and reproducible electrocardiographic markers may significantly contribute to the early identification of individuals at risk of preeclampsia. In this study, we aimed to investigate the value of the Frontal QRS-T angle and other electrocardiographic parameters in predicting the development of preeclampsia. Materials and Methods: A total of 62 pregnant patients diagnosed with preeclampsia and 50 healthy pregnant patients as the control group were included in this study. The first- and third-trimester electrocardiographic parameters were compared within groups and between groups. Results: The Frontal QRS-T angle was significantly elevated in patients with preeclampsia compared to the controls (55.0 ± 40.8 vs. 19.5 ± 15.1; p = 0.002). The first-trimester Frontal QRS-T angles in the patients with preeclampsia were higher than those of the controls (29.5 ± 25.0 vs. 15.3 ± 11.5; p = 0.015). A high Frontal QRS-T angle independently marked preeclampsia development in antenatal and late pregnancy (p = 0.003 and p = 0.042, respectively). The diagnostic accuracy of the Frontal QRS-T angle in predicting preeclampsia surpassed other electrocardiographic parameters. Conclusions: This study shows that the Frontal QRS-T angle may be a candidate to be an independent predictor for the development of preeclampsia. In this context, the Frontal QRS-T angle, which is an electrocardiographic parameter, seems promising.
