	Dr. Kalamaras - Vaginoplasty (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)

		Vaginoplasty decreases the diameter of the vagina, which results in increased friction during intercourse, making intercourse a much more pleasurable experience for the patient and her partner.
		Vaginal restoration vaginoplasty typically tones vaginal muscle and strengthens the pelvic floors, resulting in greater contraction strength and control, thereby enhancing the sexual experience for the man and the women.

		The possible exception to this pattern is the lone case of mucinous adenocarcinoma, which followed a skin graft vaginoplasty; however, it occurred in association with a chronic recto-vaginal fistula, raising the possibility that the carcinoma originated in a remnant of the fistula tract.
		Male-to-female transsexuals who have undergone vaginoplasty should receive annual pelvic examinations to screen for pelvic cancer, but there is no evidence to suggest that they would benefit from vaginal cytological screening in most cases.
		However, in patients who have undergone penile inversion vaginoplasty with the glans penis retained as a neocervix, routine cytological examination of the neocervix may be indicated.

	Abstract: Refinement of the inverted penile skin vaginoplast (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		The newly created vagina was filled with a petroleum jelly tampon in the first group and with the silicone stent in the second group.
		The complication rate was similarly low in both groups: sloughing of the penile skin or vaginal fistula were never observed.
		Conclusion: With the use of this custom-made silicone mould the preoperative and postoperative wound care after vaginoplasty in M-F transsexuals was greatly facilitated.

		Three of the patients underwent clitoridectomy, 24 clitoroplasty and 25 vaginoplasty (24 with a Fortunoff flap and one a ‘pull-through’ procedure).
		In 20 patients the vaginoplasty was a one-stage procedure, undertaken at a mean (range) age of 3.6 (1–9) years, and in five patients a two-stage operation.
		This high rate of vaginal stenosis suggests that vaginoplasty should be undertaken at the beginning of puberty, because higher oestrogen levels may prevent stenosis and, if necessary, dilatation can be performed by the patient.

		Vaginoplasty is the aesthetic surgical enhancement of vulvar structures, including the labia minora, labia majora and mons pubis.
		Women with large labia majora, and minora, often wish to obtain a more youthful appearance of the vagina, to a prechildbirth state of their youth.
		The labia can be surgically contoured to remove the excess tissue, and with a combination of fat transfer, one can significantly improve the appearance of the vagina to a more youthful and natural state.

		The usual technique of vaginoplasty is penile inversion (with or without scrotum skin graft) and sensated pedicle clistoroplasty for every new patient.
		I prefer to wait at least 6 months after SRS before considering colon vaginoplasty because the patient should try dilation as much as possible and we need the tissue and scar at that area to be soft enough for next operation.
		For the patients who concern a lot about the depth of vagina and request colon vaginoplasty to be incorporated during SRS (one stage SRS with colon vaginoplasty), they must have ENOUGH penile skin to do vagina opening.
