An endoscopically assisted technique for construction of a neovagina

Arch Gynecol Obstet. 1992;252(2):59-63. doi: 10.1007/BF02389629.

Abstract

The specific disadvantage of the commonly used Vecchietti method for reconstruction of the vagina in cases of vaginal agenesis is the need for laparotomy. We now describe a successful endoscopically assisted construction of a neovagina by a variation of the Vecchietti method. The method causes relatively little stress to the patient.
