Abstract:
Full-thickness skin grafts are superior for certain types of vaginal reconstruction. The advantages of this procedure are decreased contraction, reduced time for postoperative stenting, correction at an earlier age, a lower risk of vaginal stenosis, and improved donor site cosmesis. In addition, the patient has the psychological assurance that she is externally normal as she develops through puberty and adulthood.
