Doctors at the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine have successfully grown and implanted vaginas into four young women.
This pilot study is the first to demonstrate that vaginal organs can be constructed in the lab and used successfully in humans.
This may represent a new option for patients who require vaginal reconstructive surgeries. In addition, this study is one more example of how regenerative medicine strategies can be applied to a variety of tissues and organs.
