Laparoscopic Neovagina | Creation of a New Vagina | Lengthening a Short Vagina

Vaginal Agenesis (absence of the vaginal canal) or Vaginal Shortening can be caused by either congenital reasons or secondary to complications of pelvic/vaginal surgery. This can lead to the inability to have vaginal intercourse or can also cause severe pain with attempts at intercourse.

The most common cause of congenital Vaginal Agenesis or absence of the vagina (ie the vaginal canal does not form correctly)  is secondary to Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser Syndrome – MRKH. In this condition the uterus and vaginal canal do not form properly (the patient is a genetic female with normal XX chromosomes and normal ovaries) and therefore typically around puberty it is discovered that she does not have a vaginal canal or has a very short vagina not capable to tolerate intercourse.

Vaginal Shortening can be caused by pelvic surgery including hysterectomy and/or pelvic floor surgery such as vaginal repair of prolapse (ie cystocele, rectocele, etc). The top of the vagina can scar down after hysterectomy or the walls can scar together which can significantly shorten the vagina. This can lead to severe pain with intercourse with deeper penetration or the inability to have intercourse if the shortening is severe.
