Percutaneous colpopoiesis for vaginal atresia after radiotherapy

Abstract

G., 32 years old, was admitted on 28/III 1969 for vaginal atresia. She underwent a simple uterine extirpation with appendages in 1961 (diagnosis: uterine chorionepithelioma with metastasis to the anterior vaginal wall). In the post-operative period, which proceeded without complications, she received a full course of combined radiation therapy. She remained under outpatient observation for the following years. In 1963 she received radiotherapy due to a lump in the vaginal stump. Since 1968 she has been experiencing pain and discomfort during intercourse. Pain during sexual intercourse had increased considerably recently, which prompted her to come to the clinic.
