Division of Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology, Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Sciences, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, Connecticut.

Objective: To describe surgical correction of vaginal agenesis via a modified laparoscopic Vecchietti procedure with the goal of disseminating knowledge and improving surgical technique CASE: An 18-year-old female presented with primary amenorrhea, age-appropriate secondary sex characteristics, a shallow vagina, and 46,XX karyotype. Imaging showed rudimentary uterine horns and normal ovaries, kidneys, and spine. Diagnosis of Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome type I was made.

Background: Although traditional multi-incision laparoscopic surgery is minimally invasive, it can still leave surgical scars on the lower abdomen. This study reports a modified Vecchietti-laparoendoscopic single-site (MVLESS) procedure using self-made instruments to create a neovagina for Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome (MRKHS) and to determine the efficacy and safety.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective comparative cohort study analysis of the clinical data from MRKHS patients treated in the Department of Difficult Gynecological Disease at Xi'an People's Hospital between January 2010 and December 2020.

Article Synopsis
  • The study compared two laparoscopic techniques for vaginoplasty in women with Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome, focusing on the modified Vecchietti and Davydov methods over a follow-up period from 2009 to 2019.
  • Results showed that the modified Vecchietti technique had a significantly shorter surgery duration and less intraoperative blood loss compared to the Davydov technique, while both techniques yielded similar long-term anatomical and sexual function outcomes.
  • The findings suggest that both procedures are effective for treating vaginal agenesis, but the modified Vecchietti technique is easier to perform than the modified Davydov technique.
