ABSTRACT
Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome is characterized by congenital aplasia of the vagina with possible absence of uterus and/or fallopian tubes and normal development of secondary sexual characteristics. One of the objectives of medical and surgical management is the construction of a neovagina that is functional for sexual relations. Non-surgical treatment with progressive perineal dilation is considered first-line therapy. Nonetheless, for patients for whom the non-surgical approach is not successful, surgery could be considered. In this case study we demonstrate the effectiveness of the McIndoe technique in the reconstruction of the vaginal canal through a skin graft of total thickness obtained from the inferior abdominal region, and graft fixation with a polyurethane foam mold. The confirmation of the provided extension of the vaginal canal, 8 cm long, was made with a MRI, and oversights with colposcopy were performed every 30 days for a year without any findings of stenosis.
