31.7 Injection Technique
In early lichen sclerosus stages, with moderate tissue sclerosis, a blunt 21 gauge cannula is used for microfatgraft spreading of the fat into the tissues with fan, multilevel technique.
a
A 27 gauge needle is used to inject nanofatgraft or prp
into the dermis (Fig.31.3).
In later stages when vulvar stenosis appears, microfatgraft
is performed with an 18 gauge sharp needle. The needle is
inserted at least 2cm away from the area to be treated and is

used as a cutter, with its tip performing small and multiplanar cuts. The needle moves with small fan multilevel movements in order to avoid wide dead spaces and simultaneous
fat injection is performed. The needle may delicately subcise
the dermis creating a subcisional net (Fig.31.4).
In case of severe stenosis, the procedure can be performed
at the same time of the surgical posterior wall amplication
and tissue reconstruction with perineal island tunneled aps
[51, 52].
The procedure can be performed “open wound” before
suturing the medial margins of the aps (Fig.31.5) together
or after the suture. Severe amplications may be covered
with full-thickness skin grafts. The skin graft will be treated
after 3months with a microfatgraft and a nanofatgraft, reducing retraction and gaining elasticity. This procedure can be
performed during the additional fat graft sessions planned
for the treatment of stenosis.

31.7.1 Immediate Postoperative Care
Polydine ointment is applied to the vulva, and a Kemicetine
(chloramphenicol) egg is inserted into the vagina. A cold pad
is applied to the vulva, the catheter is removed (if inserted),
and the patient may be discharged on the same day of the
procedure or after one night of observation.
Postoperative pain can be controlled easily with nonmorphinic analgesics (Paracetamol [acetaminophen]), and oral
antiedema (Bromelain) and hydrating genital creams are prescribed for 1 month. Blood uidifying medication is prescribed for 15 days. Patients must avoid sexual activity,
cycling, and riding horses for 30days. Pelvic oor rehabilitation is an essential part of the treatment and starts 1 week
after the procedure with nger massage only, followed by
2weeks after the operation with tissue expansion with inatable dilators.
31.8 Number ofProcedures andFinal
Results
In early stages, a single treatment of 5–15cc of microfatgraft
with blunt 21 gauge cannula injection +2/4cc of nanofatgraft
or PRP can achieve a good result, in elasticity and trophism
and a second treatment may be necessary 4–6months after
the rst treatment. Rarely, a third treatment is needed. Results
are stable and long lasting in the majority of the cases
(Figs.31.5, 31.6, 31.7, and 31.8).
Lichen sclerosus stenosis requires percutaneous microfatgraft+nanofatgraft or PRP treatment, followed if necessary
at 4 months by posterior commissure amplication with
transposition of the perineal aps plus fat grafting (Fig.31.9).
Severe vulvar stenosis that are considered urgent procedures will need rst a surgical amplication with the
interposition of tunneled labia majora aps (Fig.31.10),

open-wound microfatgrafts are advisable in order to
amplify and promote regeneration (Fig.31.13). In order to
enhance vulvar skin grafts elasticity after 3–6 months
from surgery, it is advisable to perform two procedures of
supercial microfatgraft and nanofatgraft at 4-month
intervals.

31.10 Complications
The immediate complications of fat grafting include infection, hematoma (will decrease efcacy of the treatment),
skin/mucosal necrosis due to overinjection or excessive
M. Brambilla
undermining, and edema. Painful calcications following
fat graft necrosis may occur due to excessive fat graft.
Pulmonary embolism and death have never been reported,
and thus to reduce this fatal complication, it is advisable to
avoid the treatment of patients affected by vulvar and vaginal varix.
31.11 Conclusions
If performed with a good knowledge of anatomy, instrumentation, and biological fat properties, the treatment of vulvar
LS is a safe and very successful procedure.

32.1 Introduction
Female genital mutilation (FGM) consists in multiple procedures involving the partial or total removal of the external
female genitalia or other injury to the female genital organs,
whether for cultural or any other nontherapeutic reasons. The
strong negative connotation of the word “mutilation” has
been suggested and adopted by WHO to emphasize the gravity of the practice and to underline that is a violation of girls’
and women’s human rights [1].
32.1.1 Prevalence
It is estimated that 100 to 140 million girls and women in the
world today have undergone some form of FGM, and two
million girls are at risk from the practice each year [2].
Although these gures are only estimate and the true incidence is difcult to assess, they do indicate the massive scale
of this human rights violation [3]. The majority of the
affected women live in Africa (Fig. 32.1), followed by

Middle East and Asia. It has also been reported to be practiced in India by the Daudi Bohra Muslims. Nowadays
women with FGM are also found in Europe, Australia, New
Zealand, Canada, and the USA because of increased migration ows.
32.1.2 The Origins ofFGM
It is not known when or where the tradition of FGM originated. Multiple hypotheses have been formulated. It has
been proposed that FGM was common in ancient Egypt and
among the ancient peoples of the Arab world; that FGM
started with the arrival of Islam in some parts of sub-Saharan
Africa; that it commenced during the slave trade when black
slave women entered ancient Arab societies; and that the
practice developed independently among certain ethnic
groups in sub-Saharan Africa as part of puberty rites [2, 4].
32.1.3 Classication
Four types of FGMs have been described, namely: type I,
which consists of excision of the clitoris; type II, which
involves the excision of the clitoris with scraping or removal
of the labia minora; type III, which consists of excision of
part or all of the external genitalia and the stitching together
of the vaginal opening; and type IV, which encompasses all
other practices on female genitalia not covered in the
