Abstract:
Congenital absence of vagina (Mayer-Rokitansky-K ster-Hauser Syndrome) is the second most common etiology of primary amenorrhea and also cause of primary infertility. Management for these women comprise of construction of neovagina for sexual life and screening for associated congenital anomalies and planning of getting her own genetic offspring. As associated assisted reproductive technologies involving in vitro fertilization and embryos transfer to surrogate mother become realizing, it is being possible for these women to have new opportunity of getting her own genetic baby. In most cases, oocyte retrieval for uterine surrogate program have been performed laparoscopically because of difficulty of oocyte retrieval via neovagina. But we have experienced a case of successful surrogate pregnancy via oocyte retrieval through the neovagina in a patient with congenital absence of vagina, so report it after following observation of the babies for 3 years.
