Abstract
ABSTRACT
There are various operative techniques for neovagina creation. The Williams vaginoplasty is a simple and safe technique. We have modified this procedure as follows. The hymen is cut and stitched in three sites, and a strength absorbable material, Dexon or Vicryl 2-0, is used instead of catgut and nylon sutures. The advantages of our modification were recorded after 41 vaginoplasties. No complications were seen. Opening of the hymen, on the other hand, gives a better depth to the neovagina, and, therefore, postoperative hemorrhage during the first sexual intercourse is avoided. (J GYNECOL SURG 7:219, 1991)
