Abstract
To explore a new surgical procedure for vaginal reconstruction with pedicled deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap. Since June 2007, 6 cases underwent vaginal reconstruction, including five congenital vaginal absence and one immediately after total vaginal resection due to carcinoma. Intensive CT scans were performed preoperatively for perforator selection. The DIEP flaps were designed vertically on the anterior abdominal wall and transferred for vaginal reconstruction. All the patients recovered uneventfully with no flap loss and other complication. The patients were followed up for 1 to 8 months (mean, 4 months) with satisfactory results. Vaginal reconstruction with vertical DIEP flaps is a safe and reliable method.
