A novel approach to cervical reconstruction using vaginal mucosa-lined polytetrafluoroethylene graft in congenital agenesis of the cervix.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE:To report a novel technique for cervical reconstruction in a patient with congenital agenesis of the cervix. DESIGN:Case report. SETTING:University-based tertiary care hospital. PATIENT(S):A woman with congenital absence of the cervix, functional vagina, and adenomyosis uteri. INTERVENTION(S):Laparoscopic-assisted creation of an uterovaginal fistula followed by placement of a polytetrafluoroethylene graft lined with vaginal mucosa graft to create the neocervix. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S):Follow-up examinations with the hysteroscope confirmed unobstructed menstrual outflow through the patent neocervix. RESULT(S):The neocervix was completely mucosalized on the inner surface by 12 days postoperatively. The patient had return of menstrual bleeding at 4 weeks postoperatively. She has resumed normal sexual activities and had maintained regular menstrual cycles at the 6-month clinical follow-up. There were no complications related to the graft. CONCLUSION(S):Prosthetic reconstruction of the cervix using vaginal mucosa-lined polytetrafluoroethylene is easy to perform and effective. It offers an alternative treatment option for patients with cervical agenesis to preserve their reproductive potential.
