Surgical reconstruction or repair of the perineum, the region between the genitals and anus, usually performed to correct tearing or congenital deformities.
From Greek 'episio-' (perineum) plus '-plasty' (surgical repair or reconstruction). The '-plasty' suffix appears in plastic surgery terminology to indicate reshaping or repairing tissue.
'-Plasty' is the surgical 'rebuilding' suffix: rhinoplasty rebuilds noses, arthroplasty rebuilds joints—so episioplasty literally means rebuilding the perineum, and doctors worldwide understand it instantly.
