A 33-year-old male-to-female transgender consulted our outpatient clinic with perneovaginal bleeding during and following coitus. Four years before, she underwent a total laparoscopic sigmoid neovaginoplasty. Physical, histological and endoscopic examination revealed neither focus of active bleeding nor signs of active inflammation. A polymerase chain reaction test performed on a neovaginal swab showed gonococcal infection. Treatment consisted of 500 mg intramuscular ceftriaxone. Three weeks later, our patient reported resolution of symptoms, consistent with eradication of the infection demonstrated by a follow-up neovaginal swab polymerase chain reaction. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of gonococcal infection of the sigmoid neovagina.

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.

Article Synopsis
  • This study talks about a rare condition where some girls are born without a proper vagina, but their uterus works fine.
  • The doctors looked at 16 girls aged 14 to 26 to see how a surgery called utero-colo-vaginoplasty helped them deal with this issue, allowing them to have normal periods and sexual activity.
  • While the surgery worked for most, there were some problems for a few, but overall, they enjoyed better health and experiences, even though none of them got pregnant.

Introduction And Hypothesis: We investigate the feasibility, safety, and clinical therapeutic effect of laparoscopic sigmoid vaginoplasty in women with Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome.

Methods: We performed a retrospective case review cohort study of 56 patients with MRKHs undergoing laparoscopic sigmoid vaginoplasty in Wuhan Union Hospital between 2000 and 2020, and all patients were followed up.

Results: The median operating time was 165 min (120-420 min).
