Abstract

The pudendal thigh flap is a sensate flap based on the posterior labial artery, which has shown great versatility in the reconstruction of genital anomalies as well as genital oncologic reconstruction. This report showcases the creation of a neovagina with the restoration of uterovaginal continuity in a 12-year-old girl who had vaginal atresia. She presented with concealed menstruation and cyclical abdominal pain and had a creation of a neovagina with utero-vaginal continuity using a bilateral pudendal thigh fascio-cutaneous flap. Post-operatively, she attained normal menstrual flow and a sensate neovagina with a satisfactory vaginal canal depth. Partial wound dehiscence of the flap donor site was managed with dressing and healing by secondary intention. Even in new centres, the pudendal thigh flap remains a versatile flap for managing vaginal atresia.
