title: Surgical treatment of congenital uterovaginal agenesis: Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome.
abstract: Twenty-five patients with congenital uterovaginal agenesis underwent neovaginoplasty according to the McIndoe and Banister technique. In 17 (68.0%) cases the congenital agensis was also associated with renal and bone malformations. The postoperative results, based on the length of the neovagina, were considered to be satisfactory in 16 (64.0%) cases, moderate in five (20.0%) and fair in four (16.0%). Dehiscences, fistulae and retention cysts were observed in six (24.0%) cases but had no statistically significant correlation with the final length of the neovagina. On the other hand, a statistically significant relationship between the length of the neovagina and dyspareunia was observed.
