Abstract
Vaginal reconstruction techniques with locally available tissue, flaps and grafts are well known. Even segments of bowel interposed as a substitute for vagina has been described. We describe a unique technique of vaginal reconstruction with ureter in a child who presented primarily with ano-rectal malformation (ARM) and was found to have distal vaginal atresia. Child had nonfunctioning right kidney with ureter opening ectopically in vestibule which was used for vaginal reconstruction. The procedure was done in conjunction with posterior sagittal anorectoplasty.
