Laparoscopic Neovagina Creation by Using Modified Davydov Technique

Abstract

A-21 year-old woman diagnosed with Meyer Rokitamsky Kuster Hauser syndrome has presented with a complaint of amenorrhea and failure to have vaginal penetration during coitus. On magnetic resonance imaging, bilateral rudimentary uterine remnants next to normal-appearing ovaries with absence of uterus have been detected. Laparoscopically, a 3 cm transverse incision was made pelvic peritoneum and vaginal apex to create a two-finger width opening to the blind vagina. Anterior and posterior visceral peritoneal edges have been grasped and sutured vaginally to the vaginal epithelial border. A continuous purse string stitch technique has been utilized to close the proximal part of the neovagina. The postoperative course of the patient was uneventful. The patient kept using a vaginal silicone dilatator every night for 3 months and she was allowed to have regular coital activity after then. The modified Davydov procedure is an efficient surgical technique with lower complication rates and vaginal stenosis rates.
