Colovaginoplasty in infants and children

Abstract

The surgery was completed before the age of 16 months in the three cases referred early. Though the follow-up is short it is hoped that this will minimize the emotional disturbance suffered by the child and parents faced with this problem. We have found colovaginoplasty to be a technically straightforward procedure with minimal morbidity suitable for use in infants and children. We await long-term follow-up to confirm this procedure to be the operation of choice in paediatric patients.
