Forming an artificial vagina from the sigmoid colon and amniotic membranes

Abstract

The feasibility of forming an artificial vagina for vaginal aplasia and atresia is not in doubt. A number of methods have been proposed for the formation of a vagina from different parts of the intestine. These methods have some major drawbacks and give a high percentage of lethality. In the last 2 years, we have performed 3 operations for the formation of an artificial vagina in congenital vaginal absence. In two women the vagina was created from the sigmoid colon and in one from the amniotic membranes.
