Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Swedish Hospital Medical Center, Seattle, Washington.

In patients with congenital absence of the vagina, a neovagina may be created by either operative or nonoperative techniques. A 25-year-old patient with a neovagina created by self-dilatation developed complete prolapse of the neovagina with an enterocele. A transabdominal sacral colpopexy successfully suspended the vaginal vault and allowed the patient to resume sexual function.
