[Creation of a new vagina using a part of the rectosigmoid colon].
The paper shows the indications, preoperative and intraoperative evaluation as well as the way to make a new vagina. The authors advise to use part of colon sigmoideum to make a new vagina, this vagina is very much like the real one and the function is unlimited. During the operation the shortest possible part of colon sigmoideum should be taken in order to avoid oversecretion (mucorrhoea). After taking the segment and making termino-terminal anastomosis the tunnel should be made between the bladder and rectum and the segment should be stitched to the introitus of the vagina. For three weeks after the operation the patient should keep a tampon in the [figures: see text] new vagina and we suggest the dilatation of the introitus for three months. After the three months period we advise the sexual intercourse. The number of postoperative complications was minimal and the sexual intercourse was normal.
