Use of a Silicone Gel Sheet Vaginal Mold in McIndoe Vaginoplasty

The McIndoe operation is a widely performed surgical procedure for neovaginal reconstruction [[1]]. It creates a neovaginal cavity by dissecting between the bladder and rectum, and grafts skin to resurface a surgically created neovagina. A space-occupying vaginal mold is required to maintain the skin graft. An unsuitable vaginal mold could result in poor drainage, graft maceration, graft sloughing, and graft detachment, which could lead to an unsatisfactory reconstruction. Using the appropriate vaginal mold is important for achieving successful results in McIndoe neovaginal reconstruction [[1]].
