autologous buccal micro-mucosa vagina

vaginal reconstruction with autologous buccal micro-mucosa: Take buccal mucosa 6.0cm ×2.5 cm graft to minced into 0.5 mm in size and was transplanted to the cavity which was dissected between the bladder and the rectum. Results The operation was performed successfully in all cases. The operative time was about 1-2 hours and operative blood loss was 80-100 ml. The patient recovered and the wound healed well after immediate management. The others healed primarily without any complications. The depth of neovagina which was formed was 10-15 cm and the width was about two fingers. The lining was pink-colored and smooth, and was confirmed as nonkeratizing squamous stratified mucosa by histopathological examination. The donor sites healed uneventfully with no change in mouth opening. The perineal area was not disturbed. Four patients were married and satisfied with their sexual life without pain and bleeding. Conclusion: Vaginal reconstruction with autologous buccal micro-mucosa graft is an easy, minimally invasive and useful method.
