Abstract
To assess the outcome of amnion vaginoplasty in cases of vaginal agenesis due to Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome managed at the authors' institution. Retrospective study. Tertiary care hospital. Fifty women with MRKH who underwent neovaginoplasty. Modified McIndoe's vaginoplasty was done in all the patients, using human amnion graft. Functional status assessed by Female Sexual Function Index, anatomic status (length and width of neovagina), and epithelialization of vagina. Mean (±SD) vaginal length after surgery was 8.2 ± 1cm. Mean vaginal length at 6-month follow-up in sexually active patients was significantly longer as compared with the patients who were not sexually active after surgery (8.4 ± 1.04cm vs. 6.6 ± 2.4cm). Mean Female Sexual Function Index score was 30.8 ± 2.1. Vaginal biopsy showed complete epithelialization of vaginal mucosa. In a developing nation like India, McIndoe's method with amnion graft seems to be a promising option owing to its low cost, easy availability, and safety, ease of the procedure not requiring any special instrument, physiologic outcome with respect toepithelialization of the vagina without hair growth, and satisfying functional outcome.
