Augmentation vaginoplasty with buccal mucosa for the surgical revision of post-reconstructive vaginal stenosis: a case series

Vaginal stenosis is a common consequence of vaginal reconstruction in childhood. . Significant scarring can make dilation ineffective and there maybe a paucity of skin to create perineal skin flaps. Numerous vaginoplasty techniques exist including perineal skin flaps for distal stenosis and intestinal vaginoplasty requiring laparotomy and bowel anastomosis. Buccal mucosa is widely used in urethroplasty and has been reported in neovaginal construction. It is easily accessible with minimal graft site morbidity and provides a close functional replica to vaginal mucosa.
