 note = {pdf, Labial adhesion is characterised by complete or partial fusion of the labia minora. It occurs rarely in postmenopausal women. Although various methods have been proposed, there is no established treatment for postmenopausal patients with labial adhesions due to its low prevalence in this age group. Severe cases require surgical intervention, and the postoperative recurrence rate is relatively high at 14–20%. In this study, a novel therapeutic method was designed to treat labial adhesions: a combination of Z- and Y-V-plasty. An 82-year-old woman was diagnosed with severe long labial adhesion during an episode of urinary tract infection. The labia could not be separated manually; hence, Z-plasty was performed on the ventral side and Y-V-plasty on the anal side under general anaesthesia. No recurrence was noted eight months postoperatively. This method is relatively easy and produced the desired therapeutic effect with decreased risk of recurrence. This is a novel approach for postmenopausal patients with severe labial adhesion., Journal Article},
