Treatment of vaginal agglutination associated with chronic graft-versus-host disease.
OBJECTIVE
To describe the presentation and clinical course of two patients after development of vaginal agglutination associated with chronic graft-versus-host disease.


METHODS
Case report.


METHODS
Tertiary referral center for pelvic reconstructive surgery.


METHODS
Two patients with the diagnosis of chronic graft-versus-host disease who later developed vaginal agglutination requiring treatment.


METHODS
Surgical lysis of vaginal adhesions and postoperative use of vaginal dilators.


METHODS
Successful treatment of vaginal adhesions.


RESULTS
Both patients underwent successful surgical lysis of vaginal adhesions and maintained vaginal patency with postoperative use of vaginal dilators.
