Abstract:
A case of a 26 year old nulligravid diagnosed with Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser Syndrome is being presented. She came to our institution for creation of a neovagina. On examination, she was noted to have a blind-ending vaginal canal measuring 2.1 centimeters in depth. Transvaginal sonography revealed absence of the uterus. Creation of a neovagina was performed using a sigmoid graft. This procedure will be compared to other techniques used for vaginal reconstruction. The etiology, clinical features, evaluation and management of Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser Syndrome will be discussed.
