Objective: To evaluate the surgical outcome and the anatomic and sexual function in 10 women with Rokitansky syndrome who underwent the laparoscopic Vecchietti procedure at our center.
Design: Retrospective analysis.
Methods: Data were analyzed on the basis of short-term and long-term surgical outcome and sexual function. All patients underwent clinical follow-up at 1, 2, and 6 months after surgery.
Measurements And Main Results: In all 10 patients, the procedure produced anatomic and functional success.
Conclusion: The laparoscopic Vecchietti technique is safe, simple, and effective for treatment of vaginal agenesis. Results are comparable to those of all European studies, and the procedure should gain more popularity in North America.

Background: Ritonavir-boosted nirmatrelvir (N/r) is an antiviral which targets the main viral protease, administered to prevent the progression of SARS-CoV-2 infection in patients at high risk for severe COVID-19. We present a real-life case-control study evaluating the efficacy of N/r therapy in SARS-CoV-2 omicron variants positive outpatients in Campania region, Italy, with the aim of assessing the occurrence of three outcomes (hospital admission, admission in ICU and death) in cases and controls.
Methods: We enrolled SARS-CoV-2 positive subjects that came to our attention in Early antiviral treatment ambulatory of Infectious Diseases ward of University Federico II of Naples, Italy from January 1st, 2022, to December 31st, 2022, during the first five days from symptoms occurrence.

Objective: To analyze the features of the epithelia coating neovaginas after vaginoplasty in women affected by Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome STUDY DESIGN: We conducted a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data. Women affected by Rokitansky syndrome who underwent neovaginal biopsy after vaginoplasty (McIndoe surgery, intestinal vaginoplasty, Vecchietti surgery, and Davydov surgery) were included. Macroscopic mucosal features were assessed through clinical examination and the Schilling test.
