[Construction of the vagina with transposition of the signoid colon (author's transl)].
Sigmoid transposition for reconstruction of the vagina in congenital aplasia was first carried out at the 2nd Surgical University Clinic in Vienna in 1904 by P. Albrecht. This operation was not frequently used because of possible complications thought to be inherent in the method. In 1954 the author redesigned some essential parts of this procedure with suggestions for avoiding the complications mentioned above. Of 23 patients operated on with this modified technique, in 21 the immediate result was perfect. Necrosis developed in two cases without general symptoms.
