| Popis: | OBJECTIVES: The study of 15 cases of colonic reconstruction for absent vagina. The outcome in cases of reconstruction of an art@cial vagina using the colon is evaluated. METHODS: Fifteen female patients with congenital absence of vagina who were evaluated and treated with sigmoid colonic reconstruction at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital in Accra, Ghana were studied. RESULTS: This reconstructive method is successful in patients having a functioning vagina without progressive shrinkage or other symptoms. Disfigurement of the thighs and labia are avoided as is the needfor active manipulation. CONCLUSION: Sigmoid colonic reconstruction for vaginal agenesis is an acceptable method especially in the developing world. of vaginal dilatation was successful in 9 out of 21 patients. Other workers reported various successes [4,5] and the main advantage of dilatation is the simplicity of the method [4], but this technique requires active manipulation by the patient or the obstetrician. |
