title: Creation of neovagina by laparoscopic Vecchietti operation.
abstract: The Vecchietti operation is a surgical technique that creates a neovagina by dilation in 7-9 days. The authors report a case of a 17-year-old woman with müllerian agenesis, Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome, in whom the Vecchietti operation was performed. A neovagina with a depth of 11 cm was created in 7 days. There were no complications, and the functional result was excellent.
