Graphical representation of the vaginoplasty with a modified posterior colporrhaphy. (A). Infiltrate the posterior vaginal wall with about 100 ml water into the rectovaginal septum to form a water sac. (B). A side view of the infiltration procedure. (C). After infiltration, make a horizontal incision on the posterior vaginal wall at the level of the hymen margin. Find the water sac and separate the rectovaginal septum along the water sac. Suture both lateral sides of the posterior vaginal wall horizontally with 3-0 nonabsorbable suture to form a fascia plication. (D). Confirm the formation of the plication, and leave an appropriate vaginal diameter to avoid obstruction or stenosis. After the modified posterior colporrhaphy, the whole length of vaginal fascia plication was formed, starting from the vicinity of the posterior vaginal fornix to the hymen ring.
