Neovagina constructed with the peritoneum of the anterior abdominal wall

OBJECTIVE: To describe the successful construction of a neovagina with the peritoneum from the anterior abdominal wall for six hypermicrosomic patients diagnosed with Rokitansky syndrome. MATERIAL & METHODS: A neovagina was created using peritoneum from the anterior abdominal wall. RESULTS: The mean depth of the neovaginas was 11 cm and the diameter was 2.5 cm. The mucosa of the neovaginas was pinkish and had a moist surface. No intraoperative or postoperative complications were observed. The patients enjoyed sexual activity after the operation. CONCLUSIONS: The application of the peritoneum from the anterior abdominal wall for the hypermicrosomic patient diagnosed with Rokitansky syndrome has the advantage of providing sufficient length for the creation of a neovagina.
