Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Retrospective analysis of cases that have undergone neovagina operation because of congenital vaginal agenesis was objected. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Seven cases applying with the complaints of primary amenorrhea or inability to have sexual intercourse were in the study. The cases were diagnosed with congenital vaginal agenesis and operated at Mustafa Kemal University Training and Research Hospital between 2011 and 2014. Vaginoplasty by the modified McIndoe method was performed in all cases. The main complaint, chromosomal analysis, duration of operation, preoperative and postoperative vaginal length, complications, postoperative treatment, and satisfaction from the sexual intercourse were all evaluated. RESULTS: Average age of our patients was 28.14±8.61 (19-39) years. One patient was 46XX-45X0 mosaic Turner syndrome), 1 patient was 46XY (testicular feminization), and other 5 patients were 46XX. The average duration of operation was 2.7±0.56 (2-3.5 h). Postoperative infection was observed in 1 patient. In this infected patient, graft failure occurred and debridement was performed in reoperation. No early complications were seen in the others. Preoperative and postoperative average vaginal lengths were 1.85±0.62 (1-3 cm) and 8.71±1.11 (7-10 cm), respectively. Dyspareunia occurred in 2 cases that were not able to use dilatator regularly: 1 because of cancelation of marriage and the other because of postoperative infection; regular sexual life was achieved in remaining 5 (71%) cases. CONCLUSION: Although there is no consensus about the ideal method of making a functioning vagina among different specialties. The modified McIndoe technique is the most applied method by gynecologists and simple, minimally invasive and with low morbidity.
