Bilateral labia-minora skin flaps in vaginoplasty for partial vaginal agenesis: A new technique

Abstract

A 17-years unmarried girl underwent vaginoplasty for partial vaginal agenesis along with drainage of haematocolpo-metrosalpingx. From the over hanging redundant labia-minora tissues, bilateral labia-minora flaps were designed to provide an intraluminal surface lining of the neo-vagina. Bilateral labia-minora flaps are ideal for intra-luminal surface lining of the newly created vaginal cavity as the flaps are thin, pliable, non-hairy, vascular, versatile, well accustomed to genito-urinary secretions and obviate the necessity of prolonged post-operative dilatations to prevent neo-vaginal stenosis. Lining of the neo-vagina with bilateral labia-minora flaps was aesthetically and functionally acceptable.
