The most techniques of vaginoplasty are using inflatable vaginal expanders or vaginal stents to design the vaginal diameter and length.
At the end of the procedure the device stays in place to maintain the neovagina against the pelvic wall which also favors the process of microscopic neovascularization and reduces the risks of hematoma.
In post-operative setting the expander can be used regularly to prevent post-operative vaginal retraction.
Solid vaginal dilators can also be used immediately after surgery to keep the passage from attachements, and regularly thereafter to maintain the viability of the neovagina.
The frequency required to use decreases over time, however remains obligatory lifelong.
