title: Laparoscopically assisted creation of a neovagina using the Louisville modification.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To report a modification of the laparoscopic Davydov method for creation of a neovagina.
  
  
  METHODS
  Case study.
  
  
  METHODS
  University gynecology practice.
  
  
  METHODS
  Female with vaginal agenesis.
  
  
  METHODS
  Laparoscopically assisted creation of a neovagina using a modified technique to improve both structural and functional capacity.
  
  
  METHODS
  Patient morbidity and satisfaction.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The patient satisfactorily underwent creation of a neovagina using the laparoscopic modification of the Davydov technique via the Louisville method.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This laparoscopic modification allows for structural maintenance and functional capacity without increasing postoperative morbidity.
