Laparoscopic-ultrasonographic combined technique for the creation of a neovagina in Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome.
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.
