Popis: Background Although preparation of a potential vaginal space between the bladder and rectum is a pivotal step in various vaginal reconstructions for patients with vaginal agenesis, few papers have mentioned the importance of this procedure. Case We report the successful creation of a neovagina in 3 Japanese patients with Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome using a novel modified McIndoe procedure that involved separation between the bladder and the rudimentary uterus in a laparoscopically assisted manner. Summary and Conclusion Opening “the anterior vaginal vault” between the bladder and uterus is a novel concept of vaginal reconstruction; this approach has not been described hitherto in the literature. Based on the outcome of our cases, we conclude that this procedure is advantageous in creating a large and soft neovagina.
