Abstract

ALTEZ, Carlos; MOLINA, Ernesto; ORTEGA, Félix  and  ANGULO, David. Laparoscopic assisted neovagina with peritoneal lining. Rev Per Ginecol obstet. [online]. 2013, vol.59, n.1, pp.55-57. ISSN 2304-5132.

Vaginal agenesis or Mayer-Rokitansky syndrome is a rare congenital anomaly, with prevalence about 1 in 5 000 newborn females. Treatment is a challenge for the surgeon, in order to obtain good cosmetic and functional results. We present the case of a 41 year-old patient with Mayer-Rokitansky syndrome who underwent laparoscopic assisted neovagina according to modified Davydov technique. There were no immediate or mediate complications. An adequate vaginal length was achieved, 7 cm long a week after surgery and adequate sexual function six months later.

Keywords : Mayer-Rokitansky syndrome; neovagina; Davidov; Vecchietti.
