title: [Vaginoplasty in male to female sex change operations].
abstract: Vaginoplasty presents the main procedure in one-stage male to female sex reassignment surgery. Our new vagina consist of two parts: a long vascularized urethral flap and a pedicled island tube skin flap serrated from the penile skin. The urethral segment of the vagina plays a major role, giving the vagina depth, width and providing moisture. In the period from January 1989 to August 1995, 89 patients aged 18 to 56 years underwent surgery. The follow-up ranged from 3 months to 6 years (mean 4.1 years). Satisfactory cosmetic and functional results were obtained in 86% of cases.
