In 10 patients, six with previously failed vaginal reconstruction of Mayer-Rokitansky syndrome, two with male pseudohermaphroditism, one with a history of Wertheim-Meigs operation followed by irradiation of the true pelvis, and one with vaginectomy caused by trauma, a neovagina was created out of cecal or ileocecal segments. Advantages of this technique are the excellent blood supply to the ileocecal region and the long vascular pedicle. The supplemental application of terminal ileum for prolongation of the cecal vaginoplasty allows for tensionless anastomosis between the neovagina and the vulva, even in patients with difficult anatomic conditions. A detailed description of the operative technique and indications for ileocecal and cecal vaginoplasty are presented, and the techniques in current use for vaginal replacement are reviewed and discussed.

Introduction: The bowel remains the favored tissue for neo-vaginoplasty (NeoVP) in pediatric patients with vaginal agenesis. In 2001, the first description of NeoVP using the Yang-Monti technique with a sigmoid double tubular flap was published. We present our experience of NeoVP with a single Yang-Monti tube (SYMT) flap and report on the use of different segments of colon.

The clinical presentation of a wandering spleen is characterized mainly by unspecific acute symptoms, ranging from diffuse abdominal pain to left upper/lower quadrant and referred shoulder pain to asymptomatic. This has challenged accelerated medical care and impeded the acquisition of confirmatory diagnosis; therefore, increasing morbidity and mortality risks. Splenectomy is an established operative procedure for a wandering spleen.

Objective: We seek to describe the procedure, complications, and functional outcomes of utilizing the cecum and ascending colon for creation of a neovagina on a gynecologic oncology service.
Methods: A search of all the cases on the gynecologic oncology service over a ten year period yielded fourteen cases of cecal neovagina. A retrospective chart review was performed.

Purpose: We review our 23-year experience with bowel vaginoplasty, with particular attention to postoperative quality of life and sexual function.
Materials And Methods: We reviewed the records of 57 patients who underwent bowel replacement vaginoplasty between 1980 and 2004. A total of 42 patients had the Mayer-Rokitansky syndrome, of whom 6 had varying forms of intersexuality, 6 had undergone surgery for pelvic malignancy, 1 had aphallia, 1 had cloacal exstrophy and 1 was the survivor of a conjoined twin separation.
