Abstract

Vaginal agenesis is diagnosed in women with Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser-Mayer syndrome. This disease is uncommon and only diagnosed in one out of 4000-10000 women. Treatment of vaginal agenesis can be non-operative or operative. Operating treatments include Vecchietti, McIndoe, Davydov, Creatsas (Williams) vaginoplasties and vaginal reconstruction of the intestinal segment. In this article, we will review and compare the main operating methods, their advantages and disadvantages.
