Modified rotational bowel vaginoplasty after total pelvic exenteration.

Abstract

Vaginal reconstructive options commonly include the use of split-thickness skin grafts or intestinal conduits. When a colonic segment is chosen, the sigmoid colon is favored because of its location, size, and durability. When circumstances preclude the use of sigmoid colon and a colonic conduit is preferred, creative means of mobilization are required. This article describes a case and technique utilizing the descending colon in a tension-free vaginoplasty.
