Evaluation of Liposomal Bupivacaine at Split Thickness Skin Graft Donor Sites through a Randomized, Controlled Trial

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Penile inversion vaginoplasty is a safe procedure. However, vaginal stenosis of the neovagina is a possible complication, of which the risk factors have not been described in the literature. This study aimed to identify potential causes of vaginal stenosis of the constructed neovagina, with specific attention toward identifying potentially modifiable behavioral risk factors during the postoperative period. METHODS:A single-center retrospective chart review was performed on all transfeminine patients who underwent vaginoplasty surgery between January 2016 and September 2020. Surgery type, outcome, revisional surgical history, postoperative dilating habits, medical history, and demographic data were recorded.
