title: Laparoscopic Modified Vecchietti Technique for Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) Syndrome: Report of Two Cases.
abstract: Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome is a congenital disorder characterized by uterine aplasia and aplasia of the upper part of the vagina. It presents with primary amenorrhea in a 46, XX individual. In this paper, we report the cases of two patients with MRKH syndrome treated with the laparoscopic modified Vecchietti technique using the optimized new instruments. A neovagina was successfully created in these two patients. This minimally invasive technique offers improvements in terms of operative time, complications, and functionality.
