Urogynecological and Sexual Functions after Vecchietti Reconstructive Surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Hypothesis/aims of study

Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome is the second most common cause of primary amenorrhea. The ESHRE/ESGE categorizes this disorder within the class 5 uterine malformation of the female genital tract anomalies. It is characterized by congenital absence of the uterus, cervix, and upper part of the vagina in otherwise phenotypically normal 46XX females. These patients have normal ovaries, biphasic ovarian cycle, and female psychosexual identification. Laparoscopic Vecchietti's operation-surgical method in which the vagina increases in size by gradually applying traction to the vaginal vault-is one of the methods used to treat MRKH. The aim of this study was to establish the urogynecological and sexual functions after Vecchietti's operation.
