Late postoperative urinary stress incontinence after a laparoscopic-assisted Vecchietti procedure for neovagina creation in a patient with Rokitansky syndrome: successful treatment with the TVT-O technique.
A case report of urinary stress incontinence after surgery in a 20-year-old patient with Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome is presented. A neovagina was successfully created with a laparoscopic-assisted Vecchietti procedure. Fifteen months later, after normal and satisfactory sexual intercourse, the patient was seen for stress urinary incontinence. A second surgery consistent with the transobturator tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) system with nonelastic polypropylene suburethral TVT allowed full correction of the urinary symptoms.
