Abstract

A brief review of the operative procedures for the correction of congenital absence or traumatic stricture of the vagina is presented. Some of the disadvantages associated with pedicle grafts and the risk involved in using any part of the intestinal tract are stressed. The McIndoe procedure is the operation of choice by reason of its simplicity and practicability. I have added certain modifications to this procedure which seem to me to be sound and useful.Five patients with congenital absence of the vagina and two with traumatic stricture of the vagina were treated successfully and without mortality by this method.
