  METHODS
  Department of Obstetrics/Gynaecology, Teaching Hospital Na Bulovce, the First Medical Faculty of Charles University in Prague.
  
  
  METHODS
  We performed a retrospective analysis of our set of patients treated at our Institute from 2001 through 2005. We assessed age, type of synechia, symptoms and treatment.
  
  
  RESULTS
  We treated 108 cases of synechia vulvae in 83 patients, 16 cases were relapsing. Most patients were in the group of less than 3 years of age. Almost 64% of all cases were incidental findings of paediatrician. Our set comprised of posterior fusion (79% of patients), subtotal posterior fusion (14%) and the rest was anterior or middle fusion. 87% of all labial fusions were disintegrated without any need of anaesthesia.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Our results confirmed high prevalence of posterior labial fusion; most of our cases were treated without any need of anaesthesia.
