Abstract
|
|
|
Mullerian agenesis or dysgenesis, rare developmental anomaly presenting as primary amenorrhea, is characterized by absence of vagina and absence or rudimentary development of the uterus. Anatomic anomalies of the axial skeleton and kindney often
accompany this psychologically devatating condition.
There are various methods of surgical treatment for congenital absence of the vagina.
The six cases reviewed in this paper were all treated with McIndoe techinque. All of 6 women experienced satisfactory sexual activity and were satisfied with vaginal depth following vaginal creation using a split thickness skin graft technique.
Despite the existence of several alternative methods, the McIndoe technique is a relatively simple and highly susccessful procedure and hence is still prefered by many surgeons.
