    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    This study details a surgical technique using ileum to construct vaginas in 5 phenotypic female children with 46 XY chromosomes. The procedure resulted in patent neovaginal openings and satisfactory sexual function in one patient.

    Area of Science:

    • Surgical reconstruction
    • Pediatric surgery
    • Genitourinary reconstruction

    Background:

    • 46 XY individuals with disorders of sex development often require genitourinary reconstruction.
    • Vaginal agenesis presents significant challenges in pediatric and adolescent care.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of ileal vaginoplasty in phenotypic female children with 46 XY karyotype.
    • To assess the functional outcomes and patency of neovaginal construction using ileum.

    Main Methods:

    • Surgical construction of a neovagina using a vascularized ileal segment in 5 patients.
    • The ileal segment was folded into a pouch and placed between the rectum and bladder.
    • Transplantation of the neovagina to the perineum.

    Main Results:

    • All 5 patients maintained a patent neovaginal opening post-surgery.
    • Mucus discharge from the neovagina decreased over time.
    • One adolescent patient reported a satisfactory sexual relationship.

    Conclusions:

    • Ileal vaginoplasty is a viable surgical option for vaginal construction in phenotypic female 46 XY children.
    • The technique demonstrates good patency rates and potential for functional sexual outcomes.
    • Further long-term follow-up is warranted to assess durability and patient satisfaction.
