| Popis: | Summary: Cryptomenorrhoea associated with vaginal agenesis is uncommon. However, when laparoscopy or ultrasound reveal the uterus to be present early laparotomy is mandatory unless there is clear evidence of haematocolpos, in order to define the cervix and undertake reconstructive surgery. Once a uterovaginal tract has been established prolonged use of a mould is necessary to maintain patency of the neovagina. If the cervix is absent or atretic then immediate hysterectomy is required. |
