In some girls, the vagina is totally or partially absent (agenesis), and usually associated with the absent or rudimentary uterus. In these girls ovaries are normal, so secondary sex characteristics (body, breast, voice, hairs) are developed like a normal girl.
Vaginal reconstruction means creating a new or artificial vagina after you have had surgery to remove your vagina (vaginectomy). If you are going to have your vagina removed during surgery, you could ask your doctor if a vaginal reconstruction is possible. One of the aims of reconstruction is to try to make vaginal intercourse possible after surgery. A vaginal reconstruction adds to the length of the surgery and has possible side effects. Also, attempts to reconstruct the vagina might not be successful in some women. So it is important to discuss the benefits and risks of this operation with your doctor.
In these cases, the vagina can be reconstructed for a sexual purpose. We at Bisoniya hospital reconstruct the vagina with pudendal thigh flaps with excellent results and scars in hidden areas.
