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.
