  • Title: Combined retropubic balloon vaginoplasty and laparoscopic canalization: a novel blend of techniques provides a minimally invasive treatment for cervicovaginal aplasia.
    Author: El Saman AM.
    Journal: Am J Obstet Gynecol; 2009 Sep; 201(3):333.e1-5. PubMed ID: 19733291.
    Abstract:
    We studied the operative and functional outcomes of combined retropubic balloon vaginoplasty and laparoscopic canalization (RBV-LC) for treatment of cervicovaginal aplasia. The RBV-LC procedure was performed successfully in 4 cases of cervicovaginal aplasia within 35-40 minutes primary operative time. Cystoscopy was performed to ensure bladder and urethral integrity. Endoscopically monitored canalization with laparoscopic canalization is a feasible, effective, less invasive way for management of cervicovaginal aplasia.
