Vaginal construction.
Construction of the vagina was performed in 5 46 XY, phenotypic female children, by utilizing a vascularized segment of ileum, which is folded and converted into a pouch, then placed between the rectum and bladder, and transplanted to the perineum. The neovaginal opening remained patent in all, mucus discharge decreased with time, and one teenager experienced a satisfactory sexual relationship.
