ABSTRACT

Introduction. Müllerian malformations of female genitalia represent a real challenge for the gynecologist, and a strong emotional and psychological impact for the patient. The treatment in those patients who have a vaginal agenesis in Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster- Hauser focuses on the surgical treatment, since the goal in these patients is to create a vagina adequate for a normal sexual life, at present laparoscopic surgery is recommended first-line success with her getting up to 90%. However, the high cost of material to carry out such surgery remains a problem for patients. Material and methods. Neovagina was performed by pulling and use of laparoscopic balloon expander to 5 patients. Results. Vaginal elongation was achieved 10 to 12 cm in length and 4 to 6 cm in diameter at an average of 10 days, the minimally invasive technique is performed to the abdominal cavity and most importantly, the neovagina tissue is 100% vaginal mucosa. Conclusion. The described technique offers advantages over existing techniques in cost recovery.
