description Gynecologic and plastic surgeons collaborate to improve vaginal reconstruction for women with vaginal stenosis and obstetric fistula. As these cases occur typically in low‐resource settings, the Singapore flap is a useful technique given its reliability, safety, ease of dissection, and minimal need for additional supplies. The fasciocutaneous flap maintains cutaneous innervation and vasculature and does not require stenting. The surgical collaboration has made it possible to provide functional vaginal reconstruction as a part of the overall care of obstetric fistula patients. The technique shows promise for improving sexual function for women with obstetric fistula and may also enhance healing. Tweetable Gynecologic & plastic surgeons collaborate to improve vaginal reconstruction for women with obstetric fistula.
