title: Abdominal sacral colpopexy for repair of neovaginal prolapse in male-to-female transsexuals.
abstract: Penectomy, bilateral orchiectomy, and penoscrotal flap vaginoplasty are procedures that increase the psychosocial well-being and enhance body acceptance of male-to-female transsexuals. The incidence of neovaginal prolapse is not known but is believed to be relatively rare. We report 2 cases of neovaginal prolapse that were successfully treated with abdominal sacral colpopexy at our institution.
