A Complex Reconstructive Approach to Iatrogenic Vaginal Scarring and Resultant Urethral Intercourse.
Article in International urogynecology journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introduction and hypothesisThis video aims to: 1) Review vaginal septa; 2) Present a case of iatrogenic vaginal scarring leading to unknowing engagement in urethral intercourse; and 3) Demonstrate a multi-component reconstructive procedure to restore vaginal patency and urethral continence.
methodsThis is a stepwise demonstration of surgical techniques with video narration. IRB approval was not required.
resultsVaginal septa are congenital anomalies that may present as transverse, longitudinal, and oblique septa Miller et al (Clin Obstet Gynecol 51:223-36, 1); Skinner and Quint (J Minim Invasive Gynecol 24: 909-14, 2). Concomitant anal, renal, or ureteral anatomic differences may be present, and additional imaging should be considered Lecka-Ambroziak et al (J Clin Med 12:7284, 3); Murphy et al (Curr Opin Obstet Gynecol 35: 328-36, 4); Kang et al (Medicine (Baltimore) 97:e12822, 5). This video presents the case of a 20-year-old female with a history of a vaginal septum resection followed by multiple surgeries resulting in a bladder injury and vaginal scarring. Subsequently, she developed chronic urinary leakage and dyspareunia. Examination revealed a urethra splayed from the meatus to the bladder trigone and vaginal obliteration. This video details an extensive reconstructive procedure, emphasizing the use of an autologous sling, Martius flap, and biologic graft. Ultimately, successful genitourinary reconstruction restored this patient's sexual function and urinary continence.
conclusionsAccurate diagnosis of congenital anomalies and referral to appropriate care are essential to ensure positive outcomes. Urogynecologists are well-equipped to perform these multi-component procedures.
