title: Simple vaginal mold for use in the postoperative care of patients with a transverse vaginal septum.
abstract: Severe vaginal stenosis is a potentially disabling complication of transverse vaginal septum resection due to the constriction of the resulting circular scar. We describe a vaginal mold that can be easily created by an occupational therapist, and used as a long-term stent of the vagina in young girls.
