Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome is a disorder marked by the congenital absence of the uterus and vagina. Patients with this condition often present with primary amenorrhoea and normal secondary sexual characteristics. The diagnosis of MRKH syndrome has profound implications for a patient's fertility and psychological well-being, necessitating a multidisciplinary approach that includes psychosocial support.

Introduction: One of the biggest challenges with gender-affirming vaginoplasty was the creation of a long-lasting, durable, patent, and self-lubricating neovaginal canal that allowed for spontaneous, pain-free sexual intercourse. The jejunum was a durable, physiologic, and intestinal option to create the neovaginal canal that minimizes the adverse effects of skin graft, peritoneal, and colonic vaginoplasties. Free jejunal vaginoplasties had been performed in cis females for congenital genitourinary anomalies like Mullerian agenesis or after gynecologic-oncologic surgery but had yet to be reported for gender-affirming vaginoplasties.

Gender-affirming vaginoplasty (GAV) comprises the construction of a vulva and a neovaginal canal. Although technical nuances of vulvar construction vary between surgeons, vulvar construction is always performed using the homologous penile and scrotal tissues to construct the corresponding vulvar structures. Therefore, the main differentiating factor across gender-affirming vaginoplasty techniques is the tissue that is utilized to construct the neovaginal canal.

Objective: To demonstrate an approach to skin management in cases of gender-affirming vaginoplasty in the setting of penoscrotal hypoplasia. Gender-affirming penile inversion vaginoplasty is a procedure that has traditionally relied upon the use of local genital tissues to both construct the vulva and line the neovaginal canal. Improved and earlier access to pubertal suppression has resulted in an increasing number of individuals presenting for vaginoplasty with penoscrotal hypoplasia and significantly less skin available to accomplish the goals of vaginoplasty.
