wikify clitoris
The clitoroplasty procedure starts at 3:40 into the video. The procedure consists of:
* Degloving the [[clitoris]]
* Excising the erectile tissue (shaft) trying to respect the dorsal part, where the neurovascular peducule is.
* Possibly "trimming" the outer edges of the [[glans clitoridis]] to make it an acceptable size
* "Trimming" the now "excessive" prepuce or [[clitoral hood]] (which constitutes a circumcision)
At 8 years of age, the patient would still be sexually immature and would not have enough experience to understand the significance of her [[clitoris]].
Minors with XY chromosomes and ambiguous genitalia have been subjected to this same procedure, thus reducing the penile tissue and sexually reassigning the individual. Typically in those cases, the removal of internal testes (castration) would be performed previous to the clitoroplasty.
