title: [Creation of a neovagina using ultrasonography-assisted laparoscopy (modified Vecchietti technique].
abstract: Ultrasonography-assisted laparoscopic creation of a neavagina was performed on 6 patients suffering from vaginal aplasia. As the needle progress through the vesicorectal space, ultrasonography provided an accurate check of the bladder and rectal integrity, and improved the ease of the surgical procedure. Ultrasound can be considered an effective and reliable advance for laparoscopic management of vaginal aplasia.
