The use of a silicone-coated acrylic vaginal stent in McIndoe vaginoplasty and review of the literature concerning silicone-based vaginal stents: a case report

BACKGROUND: Mc Indoe vaginoplasty is one of the mostly performed surgical interventions in Mullerian agenesis.

Sumario:BACKGROUND: Mc Indoe vaginoplasty is one of the mostly performed surgical interventions in Mullerian agenesis. CASE PRESENTATIONS: We present our experience on the use of a new designed vaginal stent that was coated with silicone in two mullerian agenesis cases who had Mc Indoe vaginoplasty. Both full thickness and splitt thickness skin graft were used with the stent. No graft loss or hyperthrophic scarring which may be seen at the apex of neovagina after Mc Indoe vaginoplasty was observed during the follow-up period and adequate neovaginal depth were obtained in both of the patients. CONCLUSION: We think that the incorporation of silicone to a vaginal stent for postoperative wound care improves skin graft take and decreases a possible constriction band formation in neovagina.
