ABSTRACT
Reconstruction of the female genitalia presents a less complex problem than in the male (Fig. 66.2). The vagina is shorter than normal, hardly greater than 6 cm in depth but of normal caliber. The vaginal orifice is frequently stenotic and displaced anteriorly; the clitoris is bifid. The labia, mons pubic, and clitoris are divergent. The uterus enters the vagina superiorly so that the cervix is in the anterior vaginal wall. The fallopian tubes and ovaries are normal. Female patients are typically able to bear children.
