Vaginoplasty from peritoneal tube of Douglas' pouch for congenital vaginal agenesis.
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.
