title: Laparoscopic-ultrasonographic combined technique for the creation of a neovagina in Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To create a neovagina using a combined laparoscopic and ultrasonographic technique in Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome by modification of Vecchietti's operation.
  
  
  METHODS
  Case report.
  
  
  METHODS
  Division of Physiopathology of Reproduction, University of Palermo, Palermo, Italy.
  
  
  METHODS
  The advancement of the needle from the pseudohymen, through the vesicorectal space using a triple contrast ultrasonographic technique.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The ultrasonographic scanning guides the accurate transit from external genitalia to the peritoneal cavity.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This original approach allowed a safe and rapid creation of a neovagina in a case of Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome.
