J Plast Surg Hand Surg. 2011 Jun;45(3):168-72. doi: 10.3109/02844310903123221. Epub 2010 Feb 17.

Abstract

We report the cases of two patients who had pronounced stenosis of the lower part of the vagina after vaginal reconstruction for congenital vaginal aplasia and hypoplasia. Bilateral pudendal thigh flaps were used for secondary reconstruction, and gave satisfactory results with no signs of recurrence or severe scarring at the donor site.
