[Phallus phantom - a superfluos remnant in surgical correction of vaginal aplasia (author's transl)]

Reported are 32 cases of surgical correction of congenital atrophy of the vagina in concomitance with Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster syndrome. The authors gained experience from using a surgical technique modified by themselves after Kurbanova's approach. Described in greater detail is their approach exclusively on the vaginal route. The outcome, some time after surgery, was analysed, and all results were found to be good. Phantom insertion proved to be superfluos in follow-up treatment of the peritoneal vagina. Vaginoplasty, using pelveoperitoneum, is considered to be the most successful method, at present, against the background of all results so far available from follow-up checks.
