ABSTRACT
Information & Methods
Laparoscopic Vaginoplasty with Modified Vecchietti Technique is a new method in the treatment of vaginal agenesis. In this method, a combination of dilatation and graftless surgery is used. This technique was first developed in 1992 for the first time in the world, and it was used in Sarem Hospital in 2009 for the first time in Iran. After primary examinations and the definitive diagnosis of Mayer-Rokitansky and Kuster-Hauser syndrome, 9 patients with vaginal agenesis were operated by Laparoscopic Vaginoplasty, using Modified Mecchietti Technique between 2009 and 2014; their surgical outcomes and their subsequent consequences including sexual satisfaction were followed up and studied. Only 2 out of 9 patients had complaints about their vaginal length because of lack of regular intercourse. The average time for surgery was 2 hours and 8 minutes and the mean vaginal length was 6.5 cm. According to the last patients’ follow up, the minimum increased vaginal length was 3 cm and maximum vaginal length was 10 cm. Also, the average hospitalization time was 7.3 days.
Conclusion All in all, compared with other vaginoplasty methods, the mentioned technique has fewer side effects and it is more effective. Because of lack of transplantation, there was no side effect of transplantation.
