چکیده
Introduction: We present the case of a 23-year-old female with bilateral ectopic breast tissue of the vulva, the repair of which necessitated a novel labiaplasty technique. Labiaplasty is becoming an increasingly frequent cosmetic procedure, and the popularity of brief didactic labiaplasty courses has risen in response to consumer demand. There is a paucity of detailed anatomic description of female sensory innervation patterns to the clitoris and surrounding structures. This places patients at risk for denervation of clitoral structures during labiaplasty procedures. Our novel technique proposes a method of individualized patient neurosensory mapping preoperatively, which allows for surgical planning to avoid injury to the sensory branches of the dorsal clitoral nerve.

Mucormycosis has a mortality rate reaching 90%, and is imperative that therapy be initiated rapidly once a diagnosis is made.
