Vaginoplasty With Full-thickness Mesh Skin Graft for Vaginal Agenesis.
Urology 2016 December
OBJECTIVE: To present a novel technique in reconstructive urology for congenital vaginal agenesis using a full-thickness mesh skin graft and to evaluate the functional capacity for maintenance of satisfactory intercourse.
METHODS: From January 2009 to August 2015, seven patients diagnosed with vaginal agenesis underwent vaginoplasty using a full-thickness mesh graft from lower abdominal skin. Herein, the authors describe the technique and initial results in adult patients.
RESULTS: The mean hospital stay was 8 days. There were no major complications or need for blood transfusions. The most relevant postoperative result was the functionality of the neovagina and satisfactory donor site results. At 6-month follow-up, all patients reported satisfactory sexual intercourse. The average depth of the vagina was 11.3 cm. There were no significant complications at donor site or at neovagina that needed surgical intervention.
CONCLUSION: We obtained positive functional results with minimal donor site morbidity by performing vaginal reconstruction using a full-thickness mesh skin graft.
