Abstract
A technique for vaginal reconstruction is described that uses a pedicled jejunal flap. A neovagina was constructed using a segment of jejunum based on the fourth branch of the superior mesenteric artery. This provided an excellent result with adequate length, without the need for a lubricator or stent. Hypersecretion has not been observed.
