The objective of this analysis was to provide national estimates of rates and patterns of labiaplasty performance among all payers in the ambulatory surgery setting. We used the Nationwide Ambulatory Surgery Sample database from 2016 to 2019 and estimated the annual rate of labiaplasty in the United States, along with the demographic characteristics of patients undergoing the procedure and characteristics of the facilities where the procedure was performed. The highest rate of cases was observed among adolescent and young women in the United States, with nearly 20% of all cases being performed in girls younger than age 18 years. Given the limited outcome data and potential long-term adverse events associated with this procedure, as well as the high rate of minors undergoing this procedure, more dedicated research assessing the prevalence and associated outcomes is warranted.
本分析旨在提供全美在门诊手术环境下所有支付者中阴唇整形术的发生率和模式的估计值。我们使用了 2016 年至 2019 年的全国门诊手术样本数据库，并估计了美国阴唇整形术的年度发生率，以及接受该手术的患者的人口统计学特征和手术实施机构的特征。在美国，该手术的病例发生率最高的是青少年和年轻女性，近 20%的病例发生在年龄不满 18 岁的女孩中。鉴于该手术相关的长期不良事件和未成年人实施该手术的高比例，以及该手术的结果数据有限，需要更多专门的研究来评估其流行率和相关结果。
