Use of atresic vagina as a urethra to repair iatrogenic incontinence, secondary to a complete longitudinal urethral incision

Vaginal atresia is a rare congenital anomaly. Patients with this pathology commonly present with amenorrhea, or an inability to have sexual intercourse. A dorsal urethral wall incision was performed in a woman who complained of difficulty with coitus. Her gynecologist intended to expand the vagina, thinking the diagnosis was a vaginal septum. We report a repair technique for total urinary incontinence following a longitudinal complete urethral incision, which also involved the bladder neck. The vaginal reconstruction consisted of an ileal segment, whereas the urinary incontinence was corrected using a rectus fascial sling. To our knowledge, this is the first case of this kind reported in the literature.
