Vaginal transplantation : ウィキペディア英語版 | Vaginal transplantation Vaginal transplantation is an experimental procedure whereby a donated or laboratory-grown vagina is transplanted into a woman who has vaginal aplasia (a condition where the vagina does not form properly before birth) or a vagina that has been damaged by disease. Although it has only been performed on a few women, transplantation appears to offer better functionality than grafting, the traditional treatment for aplasia. ==Background== Vaginal aplasia is a rare medical condition in which the vagina does not form properly before birth. Sufferers of the condition may have a partially formed vagina, or none at all. The condition is typically treated by reconstructive surgery. First a space is surgically created where the vagina would typically exist. Then tissue from another part of the body is harvested, molded into the shape of a vagina, and grafted into the vagina cavity. This technique has significant drawbacks. Typically, the implanted tissue does not function normally as a muscle, which can lead to low enjoyment of sexual intercourse. Additionally, stenosis (narrowing of the cavity) can occur over time. Most women require multiple surgeries before a satisfactory result is achieved. An alternative to traditional reconstructive surgery is transplantation.
