Abstract

Colovaginoplasty is a surgical technique using a segment of the colon along its vascular pedicle to form neovagina and its lining. This surgery is usually performed on women with androgen insensitivity syndrome, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, vaginal agenesis, müllerian agenesis, and in sex reassignment surgery. We report a case sigmoid diverticulitis in a 64 years old female with history of colovaginoplasty transgender surgery using sigmoid colon. The literature is reviewed, and MRI imaging findings are highlighted.
