Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome is a congenital malformation disorder resulting in agenesis of the proximal vagina, absence of cervix, and variable development of the uterus. This report describes the repair of a complex iatrogenic urethrovaginal injury due to a missed diagnosis of Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser. Our treatment utilized a primary urethroplasty through a transvaginal approach with bladder neck reconstruction and a Martius flap for secondary coverage. Urinary continence was restored postoperatively.
