Three patients required reoperation because of postoperative venous compromise in the grafts. The flap success rate was 100%, and no infection was observed for any case. The mean follow-up was 50 months (between 20 and 87 months). The mean vaginal depth and diameter were satisfactory for all cases. Postoperatively, six patients complained of jejunal hypersecretion, one patient complained of mucosal prolapse, and one patient complained of vaginal constriction. The neovaginal prolapse was repaired via minor surgery. Twenty-seven were married and sexually active. Twenty patients completed the questionnaire on sexual function. Sexual function was assessed using the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI). Eleven patients were satisfied with their sexual lives after surgery (FSFI scores \u2265 25).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n
