We evaluated the feasibility and operative and postoperative outcomes of office balloon vaginoplasty. Office balloon vaginoplasty was performed successfully for a case with vaginal aplasia. She was currently married and presenting with minimal penetration and dyspareunia. We successfully performed the procedure through retro-pubic space under local anesthesia within 25 min total operative time and it was well tolerated by the patient. No operative complications were reported. The resulting neovagina was cosmetically attractive and 10 cm in depth. Sexual intercourse was started on the day of catheter removal. Penetration and satisfaction scores increased up to 90 points for both partners.
