Abstract
OROZCO CASTELLANOS, Rogelio de Jesús; RAMIREZ SAUCEDO, Analí and ZARAGOZA TORRES, Rocío Margarita. Creation of a neovagina with biologic graft using McIndoe technique in a patient with Rokitansky syndrome. Acta méd. Grupo Ángeles [online]. 2023, vol.21, n.2, pp.173-175. Epub Oct 20, 2023. ISSN 1870-7203. https://doi.org/10.35366/110268.
Introduction:
the Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome is a congenital disorder characterized by vaginal agenesia, variable uterine development, and functional ovaries. There have been described conservative and surgical techniques to create a space that allows penetration.
Case report:
a 18-year-old woman with primary amenorrhea and vaginal agenesis that desires to initiate an active sexual life. We create a neovagina with McIndoe’s technique using a biological porcine graft.
Conclusion:
the vaginoplasties with xenografts decrease the morbidity associated with autologous grafts.
Keywords : neovagina; graft; vaginal agenesis; McIndoe; Rokitansky.
