Vaginoplasty
Vaginoplasty is a surgical technique which constructs or reconstructs a vagina. The procedure is used to help women who have suffered vaginal damage due to trauma or disease, as well as create vaginas in male to female transgendered persons. Although the general term sometimes includes a range of other vaginal procedures, such as hymen reconstruction, labiaplasty and vaginal rejuvenation, true vaginal reconstruction is the focus of this article.

What is Vaginoplasty?
This operation is used on biological women who have suffered the loss of some or all of the anatomical tissue in the vagina. Reconstruction can take the form of free grafting donor tissue harvested from various locations on the anatomy or may take the shape of colovaginoplasty, which utilizes a section of lower colon to create the vaginal canal. In male to female transsexuals, these methods can also be used, especially if the recipient has already elected to have their penis and testicles removed separately. In most cases, however, the vagina is formed using the penis inversion technique or the more enlightened Thai method, often called the Suporn technique, for its inventor, Dr. Suporn Watanyusakul.
Vaginoplasty Information
Vaginal reconstructions in biological women are individualized techniques, since every patient has a different reason to undergo the procedure and requires a specific amount of reparative assistance. Some women simply need to have a functional and existing vaginal canal lengthened or widened, while others may need a complete replacement. Still other women may also require external vulva reparation. In transgendered patients, there are several methods of creating functional and sensitive vaginal tissues, with and without clitoral structures. While no single technique has enjoyed universal acceptance as the best way to go, many patients flock to
Thailand
for treatment, since there are numerous surgeons in practice there who exclusively handle transgendered issues common to the large katoey (ladyboy) population in that Southeast Asian nation.
