A Case of Vaginal Prolapse after McIndoe Operation Managed by Transvaginal Sacrospinous Colpopexy / 대한산부인과학회잡지

McIndoe procedure using the colonic segment has been used in treatment of patients with Mullerian agenesis. Prolapse of a colonic neovagina is rare condition and its treatment is not yet standardized. We experienced a case of neovaginal prolapse following McIndoe procedure using colonic segment. A 51-year-old woman developed prolapse of a neovagina 17 years after the McIndoe operation. She had been diagnosed to have Mullerian agenesis and was managed by McIndoe operation using colonic segment. The prolapse was successfully managed with transvaginal sacrospinous colpopexy. She has no sign of recurrent prolapse and is satisfied with sexual intercourse. Patients with neovaginal prolapse following McIndoe procedure can be treated successfully with transvaginal sacrospinous colpopexy.

Six Cases of Congenital Absence of the Vagina Managed by McIndoe Operation / 대한산부인과학회잡지

Mullerian agenesis or dysgenesis, rare developmental anomaly presenting as primary amenorrhea, is characterized by absence of vagina and absence or rudimentary development of the uterus. Anatomic anomalies of the axial skeleton and kindney often accompany this psychologically devatating condition. There are various methods of surgical treatment for congenital absence of the vagina. The six cases reviewed in this paper were all treated with McIndoe technique. All of 6 women experienced satisfactory sexual activity and were satisfied with vaginal depth following vaginal creation using a split thickness skin graft technique. Despite the existence of several alternative methods, the McIndoe technique is a relatively simple and highly successful procedure and hence is still prefered by many surgeons.
