Comparison of three surgical procedures for colpopoiesis in patients with Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome

Mayer–Rokitansky–Kuster–Hauser (M–R–K–H) syndrome is a rare congenital anomaly of the female genital tract. A number of techniques have been described for the formation of a neovagina, however, a standardized treatment does not yet exist. To evaluate three surgical procedures for colpopoiesis in patients with M–R–K–H syndrome, we design a retrospective study based on record of clinical data in our university hospital. Eighteen patients with M–R–K–H syndrome were performed colpopoiesis by Ruge's, McIndoe's, and laparoscopically assisted Davydov's procedures. We compare with three surgical procedures in terms of operative success rate, operation time, total bleeding loss during operation, perioperative complication rate, and long-term complications. The postoperative vaginal depth showed no significant difference among the three procedures. Operation success rate was 50.0% in Ruge's procedure, 88.9% in McIndoe's procedure, and 100% in laparoscopically assisted Davydov's procedure. The duration of McIndoe's ...
