  • Title: A technique for uterine conservation in adolescents with vaginal agenesis and a functional uterus.
    Author: Bates GW, Wiser WL.
    Journal: Obstet Gynecol; 1985 Aug; 66(2):290-4. PubMed ID: 4022489.
    Abstract:
    Vaginal agenesis in association with a functional uterus occurs infrequently, and usually presents in adolescents. To preserve reproductive function, the uterus must be conserved, and a vagina must be constructed in one operative procedure. The authors describe a surgical technique that combines a modified McIndoe vaginoplasty with uterine conservation in which a special stent is fabricated to insert in the uterine cervix and the neovagina. Factors that must be considered when choosing between a hysterectomy and a uterine conservation procedure also are discussed.
