Neovagina constructed with the peritoneum of the anterior abdominal wall.
OBJECTIVE
To describe the successful construction of a neovagina with the peritoneum from the anterior abdominal wall for six hypermicrosomic patients diagnosed with Rokitansky syndrome.


METHODS
A neovagina was created using peritoneum from the anterior abdominal wall.


RESULTS
The mean depth of the neovaginas was 11 cm and the diameter was 2.5 cm. The mucosa of the neovaginas was pinkish and had a moist surface. No intraoperative or postoperative complications were observed. The patients enjoyed sexual activity after the operation.


CONCLUSIONS
The application of the peritoneum from the anterior abdominal wall for the hypermicrosomic patient diagnosed with Rokitansky syndrome has the advantage of providing sufficient length for the creation of a neovagina.
