Lesions of the neovagina—a review.
Open accessAbstract
Creation of a neovagina is uncommon, but it may be performed for congenital absence or anomaly, after exenterative cancer surgery, or in male-to-female transsexuals. A variety of tissues may be used to create the neovagina. Lesions of the neovagina are uncommon and probably not well known to most practitioners. A review of these lesions will be helpful if such a patient presents.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
