Abstract

Aim: Labial fusion is defined as complete or partial fusion of the labia minora in the midline. It is a common gynecologic problem in childhood. The purpose of this study was to compare the outcomes of our patients we treated either with medical therapy or mechanical separation.Methods: We retrospectively evaluated the treatment outcomes, and the treatment modality in a total of 25 patients with labial fusion who were treated between January 2012 and January 2015 in the Pediatric Surgery Outpatients Clinics at Haseki Training and Research Hospital.Results:­ The mean age of the patients was 28.8 months (range: 3-66 months). Recurrence was observed in 28% of patients. The success rate of estrogen therapy and manual separation was 60% and 73.3%, respectively. No statistically significant difference was found in treatment success between the treatments.Conclusion: We assume that for being a non-invasive and safe method, topical estrogen application should be the first choice for the treatment of labial fusion.

Özet

Amaç: Labial füzyon, labium minoraların orta hatta kısmi veya tam yapışıklığıdır ve çocukluk çağının sık görülen bir jinekolojik sorunudur. Çalışmamızın amacı labial füzyon tanısı ile tedavi ettiğimiz hastalarda, medikal tedavi ile mekanik seperasyon sonuçlarımızın karşılaştırılmasıdır.Yöntemler:­ Haseki Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi, Çocuk Cerrahisi Polikliniği'nde Ocak 2012 ile Ocak 2015 tarihleri arasında, labial füzyon nedeni ile tedavi edilmiş 25 hasta, tedavi yöntemi ve sonuçlarına göre retrospektif olarak değerlendirildi. Topikal östrojenli krem kullanılan 10 hasta ile manuel seperasyon yapılan 15 hasta karşılaştırıldı.Bulgular: Hastalarımızın yaşı 3-66 ay arasında ortalama 28,8 ay olarak bulundu. Toplam rekürrens oranı %28 idi. Topikal östrojen ile tedavi başarısı %60, manuel seperasyon ile tedavi başarısı %73,3 olarak hesaplandı. Her iki tedavi yöntemi arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark saptanmadı.Sonuç: Labial füzyon tedavisinde, topikal östrojen uygulamasının noninvaziv ve güvenli bir yöntem olarak ilk seçenek olması gerektiğini düşünmekteyiz.
