Surgery for congenital absence of the vagina.
The Counsellor modification of McIndoe's procedure was used to create a vagina in 12 of 15 patients who presented with Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome. Eighty percent of these patients, followed postoperatively from 4 months to 8 years, report satisfactory coital function. Our experience suggests that a malleable stent fashioned to conform to the surgically created neovagina is superior to a preformed, nonmoldable stent to which the endopelvic fascial dissection must conform.
