Comparison of the modified McIndoe and modified laparoscopic Vecchietti techniques for the creation of a neovagina in Rokitansky syndrome
Tóm tắt
The aim of this retrospective clinical study was to compare the effectiveness and long-term anatomic and functional results of the modified laparoscopic Vecchietti and modified McIndoe techniques used to treat Rokitansky syndrome. Neovaginas were created either with the modified laparoscopic Vecchietti technique or with the modified McIndoe technique in 21 patients with Rokitansky syndrome aged between 17 and 40 years (mean 23 years) who wished to begin sexual intercourse. Anatomic success was defined as a neovagina longer than 6 cm and the easy introduction of two fingers. Functional success was achieved if the patient reported satisfactory sexual intercourse starting from 6 months after surgery. The performance of both techniques was efficacious. However, the postoperative hospital stay and operation times of the modified laparoscopic Vecchietti technique were shorter than those of the modified McIndoe technique and the modified laparoscopic Vecchietti technique was less painful than the modified McIndoe technique.
