Choose Artificial Construction Code For Intestinovagioplasty

Question: One of my doctors emailed me about a procedure she has not yet performed but needs a code for insurance preauthorization. She called it an intestinovagioplasty. The girl has no vagina, and they are making one with intestines. What would be the best procedure code?
