title: [A new functional durable mold after surgical correction of vaginal aplasia (author's transl)].
abstract: Unsatisfactory long-term results following operative construction of a neo-vagina are often produced by contraction in the upper third of the blind vagina. These contraction tendencies can only be halted by use of durable molds. Standardized phalli are not, in our experience, well-suited for this purpose. Fabrication and fitting of an individual durable mold of tissue-neutral plastic, adapted to pelvic stability and function and yielding a good measure of success, are described.
