Vaginal reconstruction, vaginal repair and vaginal regeneration refer to any surgical procedure to repair structural defects or structures of the vagina or to rebuild the vagina due to the absence of a vagina or vaginal narrowing. When the goal of vaginoplasty is to create a new vagina inside the body, it is sometimes called neovaginoplasty. However, surgeons rarely use this name for the procedures they perform to create a new vagina.

Who needs vaginal reconstruction? Vaginal reconstruction is suitable for the following people:

1. People who are born without a vagina are physiologically female. This type of patients mainly have developmental disorders during the fetal period, which leads to abnormal vaginal formation. This disease is often accompanied by absent or hypoplastic uterus, while the ovaries develop normally. Therefore, the patient only lacks a vagina, and all other characteristics are female developmental characteristics. After the operation, you can get married and have a satisfying sex life, but you cannot have children because you have no uterus. True and false hermaphroditism.

2. True hermaphrodites have ovaries and testicles, and their external genitalia are mixed, neither like female nor male, or they appear mainly female or mainly male, but are poorly developed. One of the estrogen and estrogens in the body is dominant, so the person looks like a man or a woman. In this case, the gonads should be removed as soon as possible. If there is no vagina or it is poorly developed, artificial vaginoplasty can be performed.

3. Pseudohermaphrodites often have feminized testicles and underdeveloped external genitalia. They look like women, have full breasts, and some have a blind-ended vagina, but lack internal genitalia such as a uterus. Such patients should have the tumor removed as soon as possible to prevent malignant transformation, and at the same time, receive estrogen supplements to transform into females and undergo artificial vaginoplasty. Most hermaphrodites also consider themselves to be women and have the desire to get married and find a mate. At the same time, the reconstructed artificial vagina can satisfy their sexual life. There are many methods for artificial vagina, mainly including autologous free skin grafting, labia flap method, amniotic membrane transplantation, intestinal tube transplantation, etc.

Postoperative care for vaginal reconstruction surgery is as follows:

1. The urinary catheter is retained for 7 to 10 days.

2. Control bowel movements for ten days. The postoperative diet should be liquid food with little residue, and intestinal motility inhibitors such as opium tincture, belladonna mixture, etc. should be given. Eight days after the operation, the patient can be given honey or other laxatives orally, such as the Chinese patent medicine: Ma Ren Run Chang Wan, to help the patient defecate.

3. If the dressing is contaminated by urine or feces after surgery, it must be replaced immediately.

4. Give systemic antibiotics for 5 to 7 days.

5. Wear the mold for 3 to 6 months or until marriage.
