A rescue management plan for ruptured balloons during balloon vaginoplasty.

Objectives: To present the first repeat procedure and a simple way for management of balloon rupture during balloon vaginoplasty (BV) procedures.

Study Design: Repeat BV (reBV) procedure was done for one case, and a ruptured catheter's end to new catheter's end (ENE) procedure was done for two cases. The anatomic and functional outcomes of reBV and ENE are presented.

Hybrid septate uterus, coexistence of bicornuate and septate varieties: a genuine report.

Aim: To highlight the coexistence of a uterine septum in cases diagnosed as bicornuate uterus on the basis of the external shape of the uterine fundus and to present the outcomes of its hysteroscopic management.

Methods: Descriptive clinical report. Cases with two-chambered uterine cavities were recruited with exclusion of cases with pure bicornuate uteri.

An adolescent affliction: nephrectomy and persistent severe pains due to misdiagnosed non-communicating "retroperitoneal" uterine horn.

Study Objective: To report the existence and management of retroperitoneal functioning uterine horn in a case with unicornuate uterus and to emphasis the significance of its misdiagnosis.

Study Design: Case report.

Setting: Assiut University, Woman's Health Hospital.

Outpatient balloon vaginoplasty for treatment of vaginal aplasia: retropubic balloon vaginoplasty was performed as an office procedure under local anesthesia.

We evaluated the feasibility and operative and postoperative outcomes of office balloon vaginoplasty. Office balloon vaginoplasty was performed successfully for a case with vaginal aplasia. She was currently married and presenting with minimal penetration and dyspareunia.

Successful canalization of a noncommunicating uterine horn by horn-vaginal anastomosis: preliminary findings of a novel approach for an unclassified anomaly.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to present the preliminary results of a new technique for horn-vaginal anastomosis.

Methods: Horn-vaginal anastomosis without any dissection at the lower pole of the horn or vaginal apex at the site of anastomosis. This was followed by dilation and silicone stent retention for 4 months.

Müllerian duct anomalies: successful endoscopic management of a hybrid bicornuate/septate variety.

Study Objective: To highlight the coexistence of uterine septum in cases diagnosed as bicornuate uterus on basis of the external shape of uterine fundus.

Study Design: Case report with description of the technique.

Setting: Women's Health Assiut University Hospital.

Enhancement balloon vaginoplasty for treatment of blind vagina due to androgen insensitivity syndrome.

Objective: To evaluate the safety and feasibility of enhancement balloon vaginoplasty (EBV) in cases with blind vagina due to androgen insensitivity syndrome.

Design: Case series with description of the technique.

Setting: Women's Health Center, Assiut University, and Sohage Teaching Hospital, Sohage University.

Anterior abdominal wall cervicopexy for treatment of stage III and stage IV uterine prolapse.

Objective: To study the operative and postoperative outcomes of anterior abdominal wall cervicopexy (AWC) for treatment of stage III and stage IV uterine prolapse.

Methods: AWC was performed by anchoring the supravaginal cervix to the anterior abdominal wall. This was done following obliteration of the pouch of Douglas via laparotomy.
