“…It has been demonstrated that the mean time for complete epithelialization of the entire neovaginal cavity is about 13 days, ranging from 10 to 14 days. Histologically, the neovaginal mucosal lining that the grafted buccal mucosa has created is a non-keratinized squamous stratified epithelium, similar to that of normal vaginal mucosa, and is capable of secretory function (Li et al, 2014;Reed et al, 2015). Overall, this SRS accompaniment is a feasible and safe technique that has shown promising results in terms of sexual function, attributed to the lubricating secretory mucus produced, and excellent cosmetic results, especially because externally visible scars on a donor site are precluded.…”

Neovaginal Construction with Pelvic Peritoneum: Reviewing an Old Approach for a New Application

Transgender reassignment surgeries have become a major topic of interest within the last decade. Although there are numerous surgical techniques for male-to-female reassignment, a physician must assess each patient's anatomy and past medical history to determine the most suitable technique. Additionally, patient preference is important. The neovaginal constructive technique most commonly used in male-to-female reassignment surgery is penile skin inversion, but various other techniques and tissues can also be used including pelvic peritoneum, buccal mucosa, and bowel. Surgical text descriptions were enhanced by creating new anatomical illustrations. Donor and recipient site anatomies, and the surgical technique leading to creation of the neovagina, are demonstrated in detail with relevant illustrations. A review of the literature concerning the anatomy, procedure development, and outcomes is presented. The pelvic peritoneum was originally used in neovaginal construction for females with vaginal agenesis as a result of MRKH syndrome. The use of this technique to create a neovagina in male-to-female transgender reassignment surgery has become appealing owing to the relative ease of the procedure, low complication rates, and overall high patient satisfaction. This technique offers a potential new choice for transgender male-to-female neovaginal construction, but further studies are needed to confirm its successful use in transgender surgery. Clin.
