title: Creation of a neovagina after Creatsas modification of Williams vaginoplasty for the treatment of 200 patients with Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To present and evaluate the results of the Creatsas modification of Williams vaginoplasty for the creation of a neovagina in young women with Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome.
  
  
  METHODS
  Retrospective study.
  
  
  METHODS
  Division of Pediatric-Adolescent Gynecology and Reconstructive Surgery, Second Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of Athens, Aretaieion Hospital, Athens, Greece.
  
  
  METHODS
  Two hundred patients with the MRKH syndrome.
  
  
  METHODS
  Clinical examination, pelvic ultrasound, intravenous urography and/or renal ultrasound, laparoscopy, karyotyping, orthopedics and ears, nose, and throat examination, magnetic resonance imaging, and Creatsas modification of Williams vaginoplasty.
  
  
  METHODS
  Neovaginal functional dimentions, neovaginal axis deviation, and quality of sexual life.
  
  
  RESULTS
  A functioning vagina of 10-12 cm in depth and 5 cm in width was created in 191 cases (95.5%). A vagina between 7 and 9 cm in depth and 2 and 3 cm in width was created for the remaining nine patients (4.5%). In addition, 94.5% declared themselves to have a satisfactory quality of sexual life, while only 5% of the cases reported an adequate one.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Creatsas modification of Williams vaginoplasty is a simple, quick, and effective method for the treatment of vaginal agenesis.
