Vaginoplasty for Rokitansky syndrome improves sexual activity but results in lower sexual function and quality of life scores compared to controls. Postoperative sexual function and life quality remain unsatisfactory despite anatomical success.

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Surgical Innovation
  • Patient Outcomes

Background:

  • Mayer Rokitansky Kuster Hauser (SRKMH) syndrome involves congenital uterovaginal aplasia.
  • Treatment aims to create a neovagina and restore sexual function.
  • Postoperative quality of life and sexual function outcomes are debated.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the quality of life and sexual function in patients after vaginoplasty for SRKMH.
  • To compare outcomes between operated patients and a control group.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective comparative study design.
  • Inclusion of SRKMH patients who underwent vaginoplasty and a control group.
  • Utilized Arab Female Sexual Function Index (Ar FSFI) and Short Forms Health Survey (SF36) for assessment.

Main Results:

  • Operated patients (average age 22.53) showed lower Ar FSFI scores, particularly in lubrication and pain.
  • Sixty percent of operated patients were sexually active.
  • Operated patients reported significantly lower SF36 scores, with the psychological component most affected.

Conclusions:

  • Vaginoplasty for SRKMH yields unsatisfactory sexual function and quality of life outcomes.
  • Despite achieving anatomical results, functional and psychological aspects require further attention.
