title: [Transvaginal drainage in rectum amputations].
abstract: In cases of abdomino-perineal excision of the rectum, a monobloc excision of the posterior vaginal wall and the rectum is performed. The flaps thus formed are rotated and sutured to the side-walls of the cavity. The perineal fat is approximated and the skin sutured. The "new vagina" is packed. The vaginal epithelium covers in less than three weeks the posterior raw area reconstituting a normal vagina. The packing is irrigated daily with an antiseptic. Postoperative cares are more easier.
