title: Mclndoe Neovagina in patients with Mullerian Agenesis: A single center experience.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate the surgical feasibility and the long-term anatomical and functional results and complication rates in patients with Mullerian aplasia who underwent vaginal reconstruction.
  
  
  METHODS
  A retrospective observational case series study over 8 years was conducted in King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Centre - Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. All cases diagnosed as Mullerian aplasia and who underwent surgical correction were included. Painless and satisfactory vaginal intercourse after surgery were the main outcome measured.
  
  
  RESULTS
  A total of 19 patients were diagnosed with Mullerian agenesis and underwent vaginal reconstruction by Mclndoe technique with minor modification. All of our patients who were sexually active and were compliant with mold use postoperatively were able to achieve 100% painless and satisfactory sexual intercourse.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Minor modification in McIndoe technique provides easier, safer and deeper dissection that minimizes the complications and helps in maximizing the vaginal length. It provides satisfactory and functional vagina in the majority of the patients.
