Abstract
We report the case of a 30-year-old woman with acquired vaginal stenos is secondary to relapsing vaginitis, who became pregnant after partial split-thickness skin graft vaginoplasty. She had a normal pregnancy e xcept for two episodes of vaginitis caused by H. influenzae, which is an uncommon infection during pregnancy, and a normal vaginal delivery. To our knowledge there is only one additional report of vaginal deliv ery following this kind of surgery. Nevertheless, these isolated cases probably do not demonstrate the suitability of a totally reconstructe d vagina by split skin serving as a potentially expansile conduit for normal delivery.
