VAGINAL CONSTRUCTION IN CHILDREN

Abstract

Conclusions Vaginal construction may be performed using isolated bowel segments with excellent results and minimal morbidity. We have found ileum to be the segment of choice in younger patients, while sigmoid colon is preferred for vaginal construction in adolescents. Vaginal construction with isolated bowel segments provides a cosmetic, self-lubricating neovagina with low rates of failure and revision, and without the need for routine dilation.
