Immediate Vaginal Reconstruction Following Oncologic Resection: Surgical Outcomes, Patient Satisfaction and Sexual Function

This study is being done to find out more about the experience women have with vaginal
reconstruction. We hope to learn about their quality of life, sexual function, and body
image. We would like to find out how happy women are with surgery. We also want to know what
things should be changed or improved. Since you have had this surgery, we would like to ask
you to take part in an interview.

The purpose of this study, entitled immediate vaginal reconstruction following oncologic
resection: Surgical outcomes, patient satisfaction and sexual function is to determine
postoperative complications, patient satisfaction, quality of life and level of sexual
functioning among patients who have undergone vaginal reconstruction following tumor
resection and/or pelvic exenteration.This study will have three components: 1) a chart
review to determine postoperative complications and anatomic characteristics of the
neo-vagina, 2) a postoperative questionnaire consisting of validated survey instruments to
assess quality of life, body image and sexual function and 3) a postoperative qualitative
interview to examine quality of life after vaginal reconstruction.
