Comparison study between Vecchietti′ s and Davydov′ s laparoscopic vaginoplasty in Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome / 中华妇产科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To compare Vecchietti′s and Davydov′s laparoscopic techniques for vagino-plasty in patients with Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome. Methods From January 2010 to December 2013, 13 patients underwent the Vecchietti′s laparoscopic procedure (Vecchietti group), and 15 patients underwent the Davydov′s laparoscopic procedure (Davydov group). Intraoperative parameters and postoperative results were compared. Results Both of the two groups were successfully treated. The neovagina in both groups were wide with good elasticity, softness and smoothness. The operation time [(39± 7) versus (73 ± 11) minutes], the intraoperative blood loss [(21 ± 6) versus (63 ± 10) ml], the anal exsufflation time after surgery [(19 ± 5) versus (28 ± 6) hours] and the recovery period of body temperature after surgery [(35 ± 10) versus (46 ± 10) hours] of the Vecchietti group were less than those of the Davydov group (all P0.05]. No intraoperative complication occurred. After surgery, 2 patients were found vaginal polyps and 8 patients were suffered from pain in the Davydov group, while all patients were suffered from pain in the Vecchietti group. Conclusions Both Vecchietti′s and Davydov′s laparoscopic techniques are simple, safe and effective surgical methods for vaginal reconstruction. In contrast, the Vecchietti′s procedure is more time efficient and minimally invasive, while the Davydov′s procedure can get less pain, longer vagina and higher sexual satisfaction.
