First laparoscopic repair of neovaginal prolapse following ileocecal reconstruction after resection of vaginal carcinoma.
Surgery for pelvic carcinoma may require the ablation of the vagina. In this case, vaginal reconstruction is a surgical challenge to improve the quality of patients' lives. Ileocecal segment is one of the substitutes for vaginal reconstruction after resection of pelvic malignancy with a satisfactory sexual function and a low rate of postoperative complications. The causes of prolapse of ileocecal neovagina are described and the interest of a laparoscopic repair is discussed.
