[Technique of transvaginal operation of Stein-Leventhal-syndrome (author's transl)]

Transvaginal surgery for Stein-Leventhal syndrome is introduced in this paper. The following advantages are claimed for the new approach, as compared to abdominal surgery: less time required for surgical intervention, no laparotomic scar, smaller peritoneal wound, less traumatisation. The surgeon in command of vaginal surgery will find the new approach more convenient than the abdominal route.
