Breve descrizione dei contenuti:

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the surgical feasibility and the long-term anatomic and functional results of a new procedure that uses the endoscopic approach to treat uterovaginal agenesis, known as Rokintansky syndrome. DESIGN: Evaluation of surgical feasibility and recording of clinical data over a 12-month follow-up. SETTING: Tertiary referral center for the treatment of female genital malformations. PATIENT(S): Fifty-two patients with vaginal agenesis. Intervention(s): The laparoscopic version of the Vecchietti method was used to create a neovagina. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Anatomic success was defined as a neovagina >/=6 cm long, allowing easy introduction of two fingers, within 6 months after corrective surgery. Functional success was considered achieved if the patient reported satisfactory sexual intercourse starting from 6 months after surgery. RESULT(S): The surgical procedure was performed with no major complications and with 100\% anatomic success; functional success was obtained in 98.1\% of the study population. CONCLUSION(S): In patients with Rokitansky syndrome, the laparoscopic approach for creating a neovagina by the Vecchietti method is simple, safe, and effective.
