Background: A longitudinal vaginal septum might present as a nonobstructive or obstructive type. Both can result in dyspareunia, difficult tampon insertion, persistent vaginal bleeding despite tampon placement, and dysmenorrhea. Surgical correction is warranted for symptomatic cases.
Case: We present a 16-year-old female adolescent with a complex cloacal anomaly, uterine didelphys, longitudinal vaginal septum, and other congenital anomalies. The patient was unable to use tampons during menses because of the small caliber on both vaginal canals. We performed a longitudinal vaginal septum resection using the Ligasure (Medtronic, Inc, Doral, FL) device. We were able to resect the vaginal septum without difficulty.
Summary And Conclusion: Our case introduces an innovative and safe alternative to the surgical management of a longitudinal vaginal septum, particularly useful in a confined surgical space.

Dietary factors have recently been recognized as potentially influential in the pathogenesis of endometriosis (EM), yet studies on the causal relationship between dietary preferences and EM are limited. The present study aimed to explore the causal relationships between 187 dietary preferences and EM using Mendelian randomization (MR) methods. This study utilised genome-wide association study data from over 500,000 European participants for dietary preferences and 64,658 EM patients from Finland.

The diagnosis and treatment of intestinal and urinary tract deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) remain challenging due to its multiple lesions and nonspecific symptoms and signs. This study retrospectively analyzed 72 cases of intestinal and urinary tract DIE, including the clinical characteristics, diagnosis, and treatment outcomes. Among these cases, 11 presented without clinical symptoms, while 61 exhibited obvious clinical symptoms, primarily dysmenorrhea (58.
