Abstract
The creation of a neovagina is usually necessary in cases of vaginal agenesia, i.e. Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome, and in some forms of male pseudohermaphroditism such as androgen insensitivity syndrome. The described technique using pelvic peritoneum can also be applied in cases of transsexualism.
