Peritoneal Pull-Through Vaginoplasty Surgery

The peritoneal pull-through vaginoplasty involves using a segment of the peritoneal lining to create the vaginal canal. This technique is increasingly favored due to several distinct benefits:

• Natural Lubrication: The peritoneal tissue produces natural lubrication, reducing the need for additional lubricants during intercourse.
• Reduced Scarring: This method often results in less external scarring compared to other techniques.
• Depth and Sensation: The procedure typically allows for a deeper vaginal canal with good sensory function, enhancing both aesthetic and functional outcomes.
