[Epithelialisation of a neovagina by nymphoplasty (author's transl)]

The walls of the artificial cavity created by recto-vesical cleavage in the surgical treatment of congenital absence of the vagina never become covered with epidermis and this lack of epithelialisation is the source of progressive stenosis. The use of pediculated mucosal flaps with a broad, well vascularised base, obtained by cleavage and folding of the labia minora, makes it possible to appropriately and durably cover the first centimeters of the neovagina.
