ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the technical feasibility and anatomical and functional outcomes of one-stage transvestibular vaginoplasty with pelvic peritoneum for the patients with Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome. DESIGN: A retrospective review of prospectively collected data. SETTING: A university hospital. PATIENT(S): A total of 182 women with MRKH syndrome. INTERVENTION(S): Undergoing transvestibular vaginoplasty with pelvic peritoneum. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): The perioperative results, complications, and anatomical and functional outcomes of transvestibular vaginoplasty with pelvic peritoneum. RESULT(S): The mean operative time was 72.2 minutes (range 55-150 minutes). Average blood loss was 78.5 mL (range 40-170 mL). The only perioperative complication was one case of rectal-vaginal fistula. Thirty-four patients had vault granulation at the neovagina, which healed after trimming and the mean length of the neovagina was 9 cm (range 7-12 cm) without any shrinkage at the follow-up of 3 months after operation. The neovaginal introitus admitted two fingers in width in all patients. Good functional outcomes were found in the patients at follow-up 15 years after surgery with 80% of the cumulative proportion of sexual satisfactory activity. CONCLUSION(S): Transvestibular vaginoplasty with pelvic peritoneum is an effective and feasible approach for women with MRKH syndrome. The procedure has satisfactory long-term anatomical and functional results.

BACKGROUND: Accessory ovaries are uncommon congenital abnormalities of the female reproductive tract. Steroid cell tumors at accessory ovaries are proportionately even rare. CASE: This 30-year-old woman had an accessory ovarian tumor attached to the infundibulum of the right fallopian tube which was solid and gross pathologically and microscopically showed the appearances of steroid cell tumor, NOS, a benign entity. CONCLUSION: We report the first case of an accessory ovarian steroid cell tumor, NOS, which attached to the infundibulum of fallopian tube.
