Abstract: | The complete rehabilitation of women who have been subjected to ultraradical pelvic surgery should include the reconstruction of a functional vagina. The creation of a vaginal pouch as described by Williams for patients with congenital absence of the vagina or vaginal stenosis may be considered in some of these patients. The principle of his operative procedure can be applied to anatomic conditions in which the vagina and vulva have been resected utilizing perineal tissue structures and skin grafts. This is demonstrated in two patients with different postoperative perineal defects. |
