title: Vaginoplasty with split skin grafts from the scalp: optimization of the surgical treatment for vaginal agenesis.
abstract: With this case study, we propose the use of the scalp as the donor site for vaginoplasty with split skin grafts. Patients with a congenital absence of a vagina should also benefit from the obvious advantages, which made the scalp the preferred donor site in burn patients.
