- Abstract
Transverse vaginal septa are rare congenital abnormalities of the female genital tract, the surgical management of which is hardly described in the literature. While thicker septa might require complex reconstructive surgery, this paper proposes a simple technique for the surgical management of thin septa, utilising two interdigitating Y-plasties, without the need for excision of any septal tissue. The authors also present their series of eight consecutive cases where this technique was used, with no major complications or any cases of vaginal re-stenosis. This technique can also be used in imperforate hymen correction, therefore it might also be of interest to the general gynaecologist.<bold>Tweetable Abstract: </bold>Interdigitating Y-plasties in transverse vaginal septa: presentation of a new technique.
