title: Vulvar and vaginal reconstruction after surgical treatment for gynecologic cancer.
abstract: The goal of reconstructive surgery is to restore anatomy and function. Sexual activity is an important criterion for reconstruction. Wound healing, postoperative rehabilitation, and a positive self-image also can be restored with the creation of a neovagina or neovulva.
