title: Vaginoplasty from peritoneal tube of Douglas' pouch for congenital vaginal agenesis.
abstract: Vaginal reconstruction using skin and sigmoid loop has resulted in complications like dryness, stenosis and hair growth in the graft in the former and mucus discharge in the latter. A case of Douglas' pouch peritoneal tube vaginoplasty in a girl of 17 years with absent vagina is reported with satisfactory functional results. The procedure is much less invasive than the currently described methods.
