[Evaluation of the long-term results of the surgical treatment in patient with vaginal aplasia in the presence of functioning uterus].

Results of surgical treatment of 28 adolescent girls with vaginal aplasia and functioning uterus are analyzed. The uterus had to be removed in all the patients 1.5 to 6 months after abdominal colpopoiesis with preservation of functioning uterus; after sigmoidal colpopoiesis the uterus was preserved in 85% of patients. Analysis of the contents of the uterine cavity showed endometritis, which was evidently caused by the absence of the cervix uteri, a natural barrier preventing the penetration of intestinal flora of neovaginal mucosa into the uterine cavity. The studies permitted a new interpretation of the results of abdominal and sigmoidal colpopoiesis with preservation of functioning uterus in adolescent girls with vaginal aplasia.
