J Gynecol Surg. 1992 Spring;8(1):25-30. doi: 10.1089/gyn.1992.8.25.

Abstract

Various treatments have been proposed for vaginal agenesis. The authors describe successful procedures using amniotic membranes as a graft on vaginoplasties. The amnion was not stripped from the chorion. The results showed the vagina to be well formed and of normal depth and caliber.
