What does peritoneal flap vaginoplasty or peritoneal peritonization consist of?
This is a surgical technique that is applied in some cases instead of a colovaginoplasty, i.e. a good depth is obtained but avoiding some possible risks. It can also be a first option for a person operated for phimosis, who does not have enough skin on the penis to form the vaginal cavity.
Or as corrective surgery for a previous vaginoplasty where insufficient depth has been achieved.
A flap of the anterior parietal peritoneum is used to form a tube inside the abdominal cavity, joining it with the vaginal sac fundus, thus forming the neovagina with a depth of 15 to 20 cm.
It is an intervention that is always approached laparoscopically, thus avoiding scars, pain and complications associated with open surgery. On the other hand, it also allows us to increase safety by assessing any space in the abdominal cavity by means of the laparoscopic camera.
