title: A new approach in the management of lower Mullerian atresia.
abstract: Over the past 20 years we have encountered 13 cases of lower genital tract atresia or obstruction. There were eight cases due to a high transverse vaginal septum. These were dealt with by standard surgical reconstruction. One later recurred and required hysterectomy. Five patients presented with cervical atresia. These were successfully treated by a new abdomino/vaginal approach. All menstruated normally after the procedure and one became pregnant and delivered a normal baby by caesarean section at term. None of the cases had recurrent obstruction and none required hysterectomy.
