Refinement of McIndoe's vaginal reconstruction with ORFIT "S" vaginal stent

T H Chen. Plast Reconstr Surg. 1994 Aug.

Abstract

Using McIndoe's vaginal reconstruction with the ORFIT "S" vaginal stent, we achieved good results in 5 patients with congenital vaginal absence over the past 3 years. The ORFIT "S" vaginal stent is a semirigid, porous, and inexpensive stent. The application is easy intraoperatively, and minimal daily care is required for long-term postoperative dilatation. The stent keeps the neovagina in full acceptance of the speculum after long-term follow-up.
