Martius labial fat pad procedure

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

The Martius labial fat pad (MLFP) is a pedicle graft of fatty tissue which is harvested from the labia majora. The procedure is rather simple, takes typically 15' or so, and produces a well vascularized fat pad of variable length (average 8-12 cm) based on where it will ultimately be positioned. This fat pad can be used as an interposition layer during a variety of vaginal procedures. We describe a typical indication for MLFP, then the technical steps at length. Complications are infrequent. We present the limited information available from the literature.
