Buccal mucosa graft vaginoplasty : A viable option demonstrated step-by-step
Copyright © 2023 Journal of Pediatric Urology Company. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved..
INTRODUCTION: Persistent cloaca, defined as confluence of the rectum, the vagina and the urethra into a single common channel, has an estimated incidence of 1/50,000 live births. We describe the buccal mucosa graft vaginoplasty for a 11 year old female with cloaca, who underwent at the age of 11 months a Peña repair. We performed the vaginoplasty after the onset of uterine pain due to the beginning of menstruation.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: We accessed the lower lip for superficial dissection to harvest the graft. The donor site has been kept with as much submucosal fat as possible to avoid damage to the buccinatoria muscles. A second graft was further obtained from the cheek. Both grafts were submitted to multiple small sections to produce a mesh graft and increase its size. A arciform incision anterior to the anal canal and posterior to the urethra was performed followed by consecutive dissection with eletrocautery to gain profundity. The mesh-graft was placed over the neovaginal cavity and sutured with 4.0 PDS monofilament suture used to suture and then quilt the graft in place. The vaginal capacity was confirmed by ease of a two-digit insertion. Haemostasis was confirmed before the insertion of a soft vaginal mold. The patient remained with an indwelling urinary catheter. The mold was equivalent to 24Fr and had 13 cm of profundity and Foley tube were removed after 14 days postoperatively.
RESULTS: Patient had an excellent postoperative course and had been instructed to perform vaginal dilatation every 3 h during the day. Current follow up is 10 months.
DISCUSSION: Buccal mucosal grafting has advantages over the use of keratinized skin flaps and intestinal flaps. Buccal mucosa is ideal for female genital reconstruction, given its color, texture, lack of hair and mild mucous production. In our particular case, we connected the neovagina after two months of adequate healing to the native 1⁄3 through laparoscopic approach.
CONCLUSIONS: BMG vaginoplasty is a viable alternative to treat females with cloaca at adolescence.
