The major steps in vaginoplasty are orchiectomy, penile amputation, creation of the neovaginal cavity with lining, and reconstruction of urethral meatus, labia, and clitoris. During pedicled intestinal transfer, an intestinal segment is transferred in a dissected cavity between the bladder and rectum. The bowel harvest is performed by a total laparoscopic technique. It is imperative to create the labia majora and minora, the clitoris, and a clitoral hood to achieve the physiologic and aesthetic equivalent of female external genitalia. Intestinal vaginoplasty seems to be associated with a low rate of adverse events. Life-long vaginal hygiene and dilatation is recommended.

Mesalamine as treatment of neovaginal ileitis: Case report and review of literature.

Background: Neovaginal ileitis is an understudied complication of intestinal vaginoplasty for which no evidence-based treatments exist. Mesalamine has been successfully reported to treat neovaginal colitis and has mixed evidence of efficacy in treating ileal inflammatory syndromes.
Case: We report a 29-year-old female with a history of ileal neovaginoplasty at two years of age for cloacal variant and treatment-refractory neovaginal ileitis with pain and bleeding whose symptoms resolved with treatment with topical mesalamine.
MAYER-ROKITANSKY-KUSTER-HAUSER SYNDROME. LAPAROSCOPIC SIGMOID VAGINOPLASTY FOR THE TREATMENT OF VAGINAL AGENESIS - SINGLE CENTER EXPERIENCE IN GEORGIA. CASE REPORT.

2Clinic Caraps Medline, Tbilisi, Georgia.
Introduction And Hypothesis: Sigmoid vaginoplasty is a safe and acceptable procedure for vaginal agenesis with good cosmetic results and acceptable complications rate. Sigmoid colon vaginoplasty is the treatment of choice because of its large lumen, thick walls resistant to trauma, adequate secretion allowing lubrication, not necessitating prolonged dilatation, and short recovery time. We investigate the feasibility, safety, and clinical therapeutic effect of laparoscopic sigmoid vaginoplasty in women with Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome.

Background: Sexual function in transgender adolescents after puberty suppression has been a topic of recent clinical and scientific questions.
Aim: This study aimed to explore the long-term effects of early treatment with puberty suppression on sexual functioning of transfeminine individuals after vaginoplasty.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 37 transfeminine individuals treated with a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (puberty suppression), estrogen, and vaginoplasty (penile inversion technique or intestinal vaginoplasty) at the Center of Expertise on Gender Dysphoria in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, between 2000 and 2016.

Article Synopsis
- - Neovaginas can be surgically created for women with MRKH syndrome or during gender-affirming surgery, and studying their microbiota is essential for effective management.
- - A longitudinal study showed that the neovaginal microbiota initially had random characteristics with an increase in Enterococcus faecalis and Mycoplasmas, but evolved to resemble a normal vagina within 6-12 months after surgery.
- - By 2-4 years post-surgery, the neovaginal microbiota aligned more closely with pre-surgery microbiota, particularly with the presence of Lactobacillus crispatus, indicating its association with vaginal health and opportunities for enhancing its colonization.
