Sigmoid vaginoplasty in testicular feminising syndrome: surgical technique, outcome and review of the literature

Vaginal agenesis occurs in approximately 1:5000 live female births. It results from failure of the sinovaginal bulbs to develop and form the vaginal plate. Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome (MRKH) is the most common cause of vaginal absence followed by complete or partial androgen insensitivity syndrome. Treatment of these patients encompasses a spectrum from simple non-operative dilation to the more complicated surgical creation of a neovagina. We present a case of a patient with testicular feminising syndrome who was reared as a female and underwent bilateral gonadal excision and sigmoid vaginoplasty.
