title: [The radiotherapy of vaginal keloids by an intracavity high-dose-rate (HDR) afterloading procedure].
abstract: One of the late complications in patients with vaginal agenesis who had the McIndoe procedure are keloids. Using HDR afterloading (three times 4 Gy in 5 mm tissue depth) and a shielded vaginal applicator we prevented recurrence of the keloids after surgical removal.
