    The McIndoe surgical technique using skin grafts effectively treated vaginal agenesis in diverse patient groups, including those with Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome and gender dysphoria. Functional outcomes were generally satisfactory, with improvements noted using vaginal forms and antibiotics.

    Area of Science:

    • Reconstructive surgery
    • Gynecologic surgery
    • Urology

    Background:

    • Vaginal agenesis presents a significant challenge in reconstructive surgery.
    • The McIndoe procedure is a common surgical approach for vaginal construction.
    • This study reviews outcomes in a heterogeneous patient population undergoing this procedure.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and outcomes of the McIndoe surgical technique for vaginal agenesis.
    • To assess functional results and complications in patients with various underlying conditions.
    • To identify factors influencing graft success and patient satisfaction.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 44 patients with Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome, 9 male hermaphrodites, 7 with testicular feminization syndrome, and 4 male transsexual patients.

  • Application of the split-thickness autogenous skin graft technique (McIndoe procedure).
  • Analysis of functional results, graft take, and complications, including urinary tract abnormalities.

    • Main Results:

    • Satisfactory functional results were achieved in the majority of patients.
    • Graft take was successful in all but 3 patients, requiring revision.
    • Urinary tract abnormalities were noted in 49% of Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome patients.

    Conclusions:

    • The McIndoe technique is a viable surgical option for vaginal agenesis across diverse patient groups.
    • Use of a vaginal form and prophylactic antibiotics improved graft take.
    • Potential complications include fistulas and infections, necessitating careful monitoring.
