Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome is a disorder marked by the congenital absence of the uterus and vagina. Patients with this condition often present with primary amenorrhoea and normal secondary sexual characteristics. The diagnosis of MRKH syndrome has profound implications for a patient's fertility and psychological well-being, necessitating a multidisciplinary approach that includes psychosocial support.

Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome (MRKHS) is a rare congenital disorder characterized by agenesis of the uterus and upper two-thirds of the vagina. It affects around 1 in 4000-5000 females and is of two types: type 1, also known as isolated Müllerian aplasia or Rokitansky, which involves only uterovaginal agenesis, and type 2, presents as uterovaginal agenesis along with renal, cardiac, and other organ anomalies. Despite the absence of vaginal and uterine structures, individuals with MRKHS typically present with normal secondary sexual characteristics and ovarian functions.

Article Synopsis
  • Complete androgen insensitivity syndrome (CAIS) can lead to challenges in diagnosing individuals with a 46, XY karyotype who appear female due to their inability to respond to androgens.
  • A case report details how a patient was misdiagnosed during surgery and later incorrectly identified as having another syndrome, but was ultimately given the correct diagnosis and a management plan that postponed surgery until after puberty.
  • The report emphasizes the need for a multidisciplinary approach in managing CAIS, calling for improved awareness and personalized treatment plans to provide effective, patient-centered care.

Introduction And Hypothesis: Sigmoid vaginoplasty is a safe and acceptable procedure for vaginal agenesis with good cosmetic results and acceptable complications rate. Sigmoid colon vaginoplasty is the treatment of choice because of its large lumen, thick walls resistant to trauma, adequate secretion allowing lubrication, not necessitating prolonged dilatation, and short recovery time. We investigate the feasibility, safety, and clinical therapeutic effect of laparoscopic sigmoid vaginoplasty in women with Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome.
