Abstract (original English)
Background Polydioxanone (PDO) thread is a synthetic absorbable surgical suture used for rejuvenation and lifting. Aim The aim of this study is to use PDO threads for rejuvenation and enlargement effect in patients with labium majus hypotrophy. Methods Twenty-one patients with labia majora hypotrophy were included in the study. Conventionally, surgery, fat filling or hyaluronic acid filling is used for labia majora rejuvenation. In this study, a different technique, the PDO thread suspension technique, was applied. For PDO thread, Hyundae Meditech Co.Ltd's Secret Line Up product containing 50 mm screw thread with 30 G-38 mm needle tip was used. It was planned to use 10 PDO threads for right and left labia majora. After a total of 20 needles were inserted, the needles were removed one by one and the PDO threads remained in the subcutaneous superficial layer and the procedure was terminated 5 min later. Preoperative and postoperative the Female Genital Self-Image Scale (FGSIS) scores of the patients were compared. Outcomes The overall FGSIS total score demonstrated a significant increase following the intervention. Results The FGSIS total mean score in the preoperative period was increased in the postoperative period. This difference was statistically significant. Moreover, the mean score calculated for each parameter of FGSIS in the preoperative period increased significantly in
