Creation of a neovagina following Williams vaginoplasty and the Creatsas modification in 111 patients with Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE:Evaluation of the Creatsas modification of Williams vaginoplasty for the creation of neovagina in patients with Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome (MRKH syndrome). DESIGN:Record of perioperative and postoperative results and complications. Follow-up evaluations of patients yearly after the operation. SETTING:Division of Pediatric-Adolescent Gynecology and Gynecologic Corrective Surgery, University of Athens (tertiary referral center). PATIENT(S):One hundred eleven patients with MRKH syndrome. INTERVENTION(S):Surgical creation of neovagina using the Williams vaginoplasty technique (group A: 10 patients) or the Creatsas modification of the previous method (group B: 101 patients). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S):Length and width of the neovagina, and the quality of sexual life postoperatively. RESULT(S):A functioning vagina of 10 to 12 cm depth and 5 cm width was created in eight of the patients in group A (80%) and in 98 of those in group B (97.02%). A vagina of 7 to 9 cm depth and 2 to 3 cm width was created in the rest of the patients in both groups. In group A, two wound openings were reported (20%); in two of the patients hemorrhage occurred during the first intercourse, compared to none in group B. A satisfactory sexual life was reported from 94.4% of the patients and an adequate one from 4.16% of them. CONCLUSION(S):The Creatsas modification of Williams vaginoplasty is a simple and effective technique for the creation of a functioning neovagina in young women with vaginal aplasia.
