Neovaginoplasty Using Photoinduced-imine-crosslink Hydrogel in MRKH Patients
Sponsor: Obstetrics & Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University
Summary
Evaluating the effectiveness and safety of neovaginoplasty using photoinduced-imine-crosslink hydrogel in patients with MRKH syndrome by comparing the differences in the degree of squamous epithelialization, vaginal length and width, and sexual life quality.

neovaginoplasty and vaginal mold spreaded with photoinduced-imine-crosslink hydrogel
Under general anesthesia and catheterized bladder, the patient was in the lithotomy position. In the connective tissue plane between the bladder and rectum, the vestiges of the müllerian ducts were identified. With the index finger in the rectum as a direction and protection, Hegar's dilators of increasing size (4.5-10) were pushed through the dimples gently. After that, a double-barreled canal appeared. Then, the raphe between the canals was incised. The neovagina was created. According to the randomization, a vaginal mold spreaded with hydrogel or not was placed in the neovagina for 6 months. The patients were suggested to wear the vaginal mold continuously over the following 6 months. After that, they were allowed to have the first sexual intercourse. Otherwise, the mold wearing time was 1 h daily, until they had sexual activity at least twice a week.
