Abstract

Background: Creating a functional neovagina is a practical therapeutic intervention for women with congenital vaginal agenesis and sexual needs. Although the incidence of neovaginal prolapse (NP) is low, it is inconvenient for patients and is a challenging problem for gynecologists.

Case: A 32-year-old woman who had undergone transabdominal sigmoid vaginoplasty 10 years previously at another hospital visited our clinic for evaluation and treatment of NP. Gynecological examination showed exstrophy of the vaginal apex, 4 cm beyond the hymen. Laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy was performed using a mesh. The mesh was sutured at the anterior wall and apex of the neovagina and suspended in the anterior sacral region without blood vessels.

Summary and conclusion: Laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy might be an effective and safe treatment for NP.

Keywords: Laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy; Sigmoid neovaginal prolapse.
