Abstract: | PurposeAn ideal feminizing genitoplasty in aphallia should achieve good cosmesis and capacious vagina in a single-stage repair. Most of the techniques described in the literature are variations of the posterior sagittal approach with staged repair. We describe a single-stage anterior sagittal approach for feminizing genitoplasty in cases of aphallia.Materials and MethodsA case of aphallia was operated through an anterior sagittal approach, and a spiral Monti tube of sigmoid colon was used to create a neovagina. Preservation of the skin tag around the urethra and its placement in the perineum gives it the appearance of the clitoris.ResultThe patient has been observed for 7 months. She is continent and has a satisfactory cosmetic appearance and capacious vagina.ConclusionA single-stage operation through an anterior sagittal approach is a good alternative technique for genital reconstruction in the case of aphallia. |
