[Surgical treatment of vulvar stenosis. Technic description].
A surgical technique for the treatment of vulvar stenosis is described. The recto-vaginal space is approached by the cutaneous route, starting with incisions for resection of 2 skin triangles arranged as butterfly wings on either side of the midline. The sclerous cicatricial tissue between rectum and vagina is widely exposed and incised so that the lower part of the posterior vaginal surface can be dissected and mobilized without any risk of damaging the mucosa, since the tractions required for cleavage are exerted on the cutaneous side of the bridle. It is only at this stage that a median sagittal cutaneo-mucosal incision of the bridle is carried out, followed by a transverse suture without tension. This easily performed technique has been used in 11 cases without complication and with satisfactory long-term functional results.
