    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Gynecologic Surgery
    • Reconstructive Surgery

    Background:

    • Vaginal reconstruction is essential for patients with congenital absence, trauma, or post-surgical defects.
    • The Abbé-McIndoe procedure is a widely adopted technique for neovaginal canal creation.
    • Managing large defects and ensuring graft viability requires specific surgical considerations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline standard and advanced techniques in vaginal reconstruction.
    • To highlight the utility of specific surgical tools and methods.
    • To emphasize patient compliance in achieving optimal functional and aesthetic results.

    Main Methods:

    • The Abbé-McIndoe procedure utilizing split-thickness skin grafts for neovaginal lining.
    • Application of the inflatable Heyer-Schulte vaginal stent for graft adherence and patient comfort.

  • Utilization of myocutaneous flaps, such as the gracilis island flap, for extensive perineal or vaginal defects.

    • Main Results:

    • The Abbé-McIndoe procedure with skin grafts and stents is a standard, effective method.
    • Myocutaneous flaps provide excellent solutions for large defects with minimal donor site morbidity.
    • Successful vaginal reconstruction relies on meticulous surgical technique and patient adherence to postoperative protocols.

    Conclusions:

    • Vaginal reconstruction is a gratifying procedure when attention to detail is maintained.
    • Patient compliance, including the use of a vaginal obturator or intercourse, is crucial for long-term success.
    • Both standard and advanced reconstructive techniques contribute to improved functional and emotional well-being for patients.
