Abstract:
A 19-year-old woman was born with a cloacal malformation and a common urogenital sinus. We describe a method of urethral and vaginal reconstruction to correct these anomalous problems. A neourethra was constructed from tubularized anterior vaginal epithelium. A perineal artery based axial flap was used to cover the neourethra plus widen the vaginal orifice.
