I have been trying to find information about the vaginoplasty procedure, but the only information I have found so far deals with male-to-female transsexuals. Do you have any information?
Almost all of these procedures are done in women with congenital absence of the vagina or, to a much lesser extent now, transsexuals. It involves opening up the vaginal area surgically, taking a skin graft from some area that doesn’t show much (buttock, lateral thigh) and sewing that skin graft around an obturator (glass, plastic, wood) that is then placed in the vaginal space. It is held there for about 5-7 days until the graft sticks and grows to the tissue. After the obturator is first taken out, it is then worn day and night for quite awhile, just taking it out to clean it. This is done until the skin graft entirely covers the vaginal cavity. The obturator still has to be worn periodically because there is a tendency for scarring to return.
