description

In 3 patients with vaginal aplasia respectively traumatic vaginal loss a neovagina was created out of the separated ileocecal segment. Advantages of this technique are the excellent blood supply of the ileocecal region and the long vascular pedicle. The additional application of terminal ileum for prolongation of the cecal vaginoplasty allows the tensionless anastomosis between neovagina and vulva even in patients with difficult anatomical conditions. The present paper gives a detailed description of the operative technique and the indications of the ileocecal vaginoplasty. Furthermore the common techniques for vaginal replacement are reviewed and discussed.
