ABSTRACT
Background
Creating a functional neovagina is a practical therapeutic intervention for women
with congenital vaginal agenesis and sexual needs. Although the incidence of neovaginal
prolapse (NP) is low, it is inconvenient for patients and is a challenging problem
for gynecologists.
Case
A 32-year-old woman who had undergone transabdominal sigmoid vaginoplasty 10 years
previously at another hospital visited our clinic for evaluation and treatment of
NP. Gynecological examination showed exstrophy of the vaginal apex, 4 cm beyond the
hymen. Laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy was performed using a mesh. The mesh was sutured
at the anterior wall and apex of the neovagina and suspended in the anterior sacral
region without blood vessels.
Summary and Conclusion
Laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy might be an effective and safe treatment for NP.
