RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To report the successful utilization of transmyometrial embryo transfer (TMET) in a patient with a history of radical trachelectomy. DESIGN: Video article. SETTING: Academic fertility center. SUBJECT(S): A 39-year-old, para 1, woman with a history of radical trachelectomy and abdominal cerclage presented with secondary infertility. Her prior pregnancy was conceived naturally. Her first in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle yielded only one day-7 euploid blastocyst. All attempts at performing mock embryo transfers, cervical dilatation and hysteroscopy were unsuccessful due to absence of clinically identifiable cervical tissue. The euploid embryo was transferred into a gestational carrier; however, this resulted in a biochemical pregnancy. She underwent a second IVF cycle that yielded one day-5 euploid blastocyst. Given her history, TMET was planned. The patient included in this video gave consent for publication of the video and posting of the video online including social media, the journal website, scientific literature websites (such as PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scopus, etc.) and other applicable sites. INTERVENTION: TMET using the Towako® catheter. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Implantation, clinical pregnancy and live birth. RESULTS: Following institutional and Health Canada approval of the Towako® catheter, a transvaginal-ultrasound guided TMET was performed under sedation with intravenous midazolam and fentanyl. The day-5 euploid blastocyst from the second IVF cycle was transferred and the patient's ß-human chorionic gonadotropin (ß-hCG) levels 9 and 11 days after TMET were 86 IU/L and 262 IU/L, respectively. A single intrauterine pregnancy with cardiac activity of 119 beats/min was noted at a gestational age of 7 weeks and 2 days. The patient delivered a live singleton at 35 weeks and 2 days weighing 2182 grams. CONCLUSION: TMET is a useful clinical technique for transferring embryos in patients with acquired or congenital cervical issues in whom trans-cervical embryo transfer is either very difficult or impossible.

RESUMEN

Vaginal atresia is a rare obstructive disease of the reproductive tract. It is characterized by the absence or underdevelopment of the vaginal canal and results in various clinical manifestations. Hysterectomy can physically and mentally burden young female patients with a congenital cervix and complete vaginal atresia. This report presents a case of type II vaginal atresia complicated by cervical dysplasia in a female patient >10 years of age. Our team opted to preserve the patient's uterus, innovated a fallopian tube transplantation technique, and performed cervicovaginal reconstruction using natural channels instead of the cervical canal. The patient experienced menarche within the first 2 weeks postoperatively, and follow-up at 6 months revealed no abnormalities.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: Vaginal agenesis is a rare congenital condition, with an incidence of 1 in 4500 female births. CASE REPORT: We present a clinical case of vaginal aplasia with cervical atresia in a 31-year-old woman with primary amenorrhea. We aim to report the diagnostic process and provide a comprehensive outline of different possible treatments. DISCUSSION: The most common etiology of these agenesis cases is Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome associated with uterine aplasia. However, vaginal aplasia can occur in 9 % of cases where the uterus is present. During embryogenesis, the Müllerian ducts give rise to the fallopian tubes, uterus, and upper two-thirds of the vagina, while the lower portion of the vagina develops from the urogenital sinus. Vaginal aplasia arises from a failure in the development of the terminal portion of the paramesonephric ducts. Abdominal pain, especially periodic pain, is the most common symptom, followed by primary amenorrhea. MRI is considered the gold standard for the diagnosis and precise description of female genital tract anomalies. CONCLUSION: Total hysterectomy remains a preferred option for cases of complete vaginal atresia to mitigate the risk of cervical or vaginal stenosis, adhesions, and pelvic inflammation resulting from poor menstrual blood drainage.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich syndrome (HWWS) is characterized by uterine didelphys, unilateral cervical obstruction, and ipsilateral renal defects. Owing to its rarity, no standard surgical approach exists. PRESENTATION OF CASE: An 11-year-old girl with severe dysmenorrhea had a duplicated uterus, a right cervical hemorrhagic cyst, and right ipsilateral kidney agenesis, indicative of HWWS. As transvaginal surgery was challenging, we turned to laparoscopic surgery for abdominal cavity inspection and surgical assistance. A longitudinal incision was made on the right uterus, followed by inserting a catheter tube fixed to an intrauterine device (IUD) into the right cervical canal from the anterior wall of the right uterine horn. Subsequently, the right external cervical os was inverted to prevent restenosis. Postoperatively, the hemorrhagic cyst at the right cervix disappeared. The patient had no symptom recurrence 24 months after the surgery. DISCUSSION: The preoperative diagnosis for female genital malformations is complicated, and transvaginal manipulation is often difficult in adolescent girls. Laparoscopy is a valuable tool for evaluating female genital malformations, allowing for a thorough diagnosis and safe surgical treatment. In cases of female genital malformation with cervical obstruction, as in this case, reconstruction of the uterine cervix is important to prevent restenosis after surgery. CONCLUSION: In female genital malformations, laparoscopy provides a comprehensive evaluation of the malformation, assisting in a precise diagnosis and safe surgical treatment. Insertion of the catheter tube with IUD into the uterus and reconstruction of the cervix contribute to preventing restenosis.

RESUMEN

Background: Hysterectomy places a considerable physical and mental burden on young female patients with congenital cervical and complete vaginal atresia. Thus, it is necessary to develop a method to detach the obstruction and simultaneously preserve the vagina and uterus in these patients. This study sought to evaluate the efficacy and safety of laparoscopic vaginoplasty using peritoneal flaps and cervicoplasty in patients with congenital cervical and complete vaginal atresia. Methods: Between April 2013 and June 2022, nine patients with congenital cervical and complete vaginal atresia at Henan Provincial People's Hospital were enrolled in this prospective study. All patients were treated with laparoscopic vaginoplasty using peritoneal flaps and cervicoplasty. Baseline clinical data (e.g., age and uterus size) were collected. The surgical success rate and adverse events were assessed. Results: The nine enrolled patients had a median age of 15.0 [interquartile range (IQR), 14.0-18.0] years, and five of these patients had pelvic adhesions. The surgeries were successful in all (9/9) patients, with the vagina, uterus, and a normal menstrual cycle being preserved. After a median follow-up duration of 48 months, the neovaginas had a median length of 7.5 cm. Postoperative complications occurred in three of patients and were cured with the appropriate treatment. The five married patients reported being satisfied with their sex life. Conclusions: The study preliminarily demonstrated the efficacy of laparoscopic vaginoplasty using peritoneal flaps and cervicoplasty in patients with congenital cervical and complete vaginal atresia. However, due to the small sample size, lack of a control group, and relatively high incidence of adverse events, further studies are still needed to verify these results. Regardless, our findings establish an approach for preserving both the vagina and uterus for patients with congenital cervical and complete vaginal atresia.

RESUMEN

Cervico-vaginal agenesis is a developmental disorder classified as a Mullerian duct anomaly. STUDY OBJECTIVE: We aimed to study the surgical outcomes of vaginoplasty and laparoscopic-assisted cervical-vaginoplasty carried out using our set-up from June 2016 to December 2022. Additionally, we measured the success of our modified laparoscopy-assisted neo-cervical creation. DESIGN: A retrospective study. SETTING: The study was conducted in a tertiary care center and included all patients who underwent vaginoplasty and neo-cervico-vaginal creation using the rail-road method. PATIENTS: A total of 33 patients were followed-up meticulously and their outcomes were noted. The study was retrospective and largely depended on patient compliance during follow-up. INTERVENTION: Of the 33 patients, 22 underwent vaginoplasty (McIndoe technique) and 11 underwent neo-cervico-vaginoplasty (rail-road method using both open and laparoscopic methods). MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: The most common presentation was primary amenorrhea (cyclic abdominal pain with primary amenorrhea) and urinary retention. Four patients underwent hysteroscopy-guided hematometra drainage and none underwent hysterectomy. The average vaginal length measured during the follow-up was 5.2 ± 1.90 cm. Significant symptom relief was observed. Longest follow-up duration was 4.7 years with a mean duration of 210 (180) days. CONCLUSION: Although the procedure is strenuous, postoperative results showed satisfactory outcomes in improving the quality of life of patients. With expertise in the technique, the associated comorbidity is reduced, which provides relief for the patients.

RESUMEN

Cervical atresia is a rare congenital Müllerian duct anomaly that manifests as the absence or deformed nonfunctional presence of the cervix. Herein, a multi-layered biodegradable stent is fabricated using a homogeneous blend of silk fibroin with polycaprolactone using hexafluoroisopropanol as a common solution. Briefly, a concentric cylinder of 3D honeycomb layer is sandwiched within electrospun sheets for fixing at the cervico-uterine junction to pave the way of cervical reconstruction. An average length of 40 mm with 3 mm diameter is fabricated for the hybrid stent design. SEM evidences an evenly distributed pore architecture of the electrospun layer, and mechanical characterization of stent reveals a tensile strength of 1.7 ± 0.2 MPa, with a Young's modulus of 5.9 ± 0.1 MPa. Physico-chemical characterization confirms the presence of silk fibroin and poly caprolactone within the engineered stent. Following 14 days of pepsin enzymatic degradation, 18% degradation and a contact angle measurement of 97° are observed. In vitro cytocompatibility studies are performed using site-specific primary human cervical squamous, columnar epithelial cells, and human endometrial stromal cells. The study demonstrates non-cytotoxic cells' viability (no significant toxicity), improved cell anchoring, adherence among the stent layers, and proliferation in the 3D microenvironment. Furthermore, in vivo subcutaneous studies in the rodent model indicate that the implanted stent undergoes constructive remodeling, neo-tissue creation, neo-vasculature formation, and re-epithelialization while maintaining patency for 2 months.

RESUMEN

Background: Hysterectomy places a huge physical and mental burden on young female patients with congenital cervical and complete vaginal atresia. Thus, it is necessary to develop a method to detach the obstruction and simultaneously preserve the vagina and uterus in these patients. This study sought to evaluate the efficacy and safety of laparoscopic vaginoplasty using the peritoneal flap and cervicoplasty in patients with congenital cervical and complete vaginal atresia. Methods: Between April 2013 and June 2022, 9 patients with congenital cervical and complete vaginal atresia at Henan Provincial People's Hospital were enrolled in this prospective study. All the patients were treated with laparoscopic vaginoplasty using the peritoneal flap and cervicoplasty. Baseline clinical features (such as age, uterus size, etc.) were collected. The surgical success rate and adverse events were assessed. Results: The 9 enrolled patients had a median [interquartile range (IQR)] age of 15.0 (14.0-18.0) years, and 5/9 patients presented with pelvic adhesions. The surgeries were successful in all (9/9) patients, who preserved their vagina and uterus with a normal menstrual cycle. After a median follow-up duration of 48 months, the neovagina had a median length of 7.5 cm. Post-surgical complications occurred in 3/9 patients, which were cured by an appropriate treatment. The 5/9 married patients reported being satisfied with their sexual life. Conclusions: Even though the current study preliminary exhibits the efficiency of laparoscopic vaginoplasty using the peritoneal flap and cervicoplasty in patients with congenital cervical and complete vaginal atresia, due to the small sample size, lack of a control group, and relatively high incidence of the adverse events, further studies are still needed to verify the current findings. The current study put forward a further direction for preserving the vagina and uterus simultaneously for those patients with congenital cervical and complete vaginal atresia.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The surgical treatment of girls with cervical atresia and complete absence of the vagina remains a problem because of the rarity of cases and the controversial study results. OBJECTIVE: To describe the surgical technique and long-term results of laparoscopically assisted uterovestibular anastomosis in patients with cervical atresia and complete absence of the vagina STUDY DESIGN: Sixteen consecutive patients with cervical atresia and complete absence of the vagina were conservatively treated with laparoscopically assisted uterovestibular anastomosis in 2 tertiary care referral centers. The follow-up assessments included clinical examination, determination of the presence and quality of sexual intercourse, and vaginoscopy. RESULTS: All patients underwent laparoscopically assisted uterovestibular anastomosis. No perioperative complications occurred. The mean follow-up period was 8 ± 3.2 years. In all patients, the length of the neovagina was greater than 4 cm at 1 year after the surgery and approximately 6 cm after 2 years. After the start of sexual intercourse, the neovagina exceeded 7 cm in length in 2 of the 11 sexually active patients. At 12 months after the surgery, iodine-positive epithelium was present in all patients and was maintained over time. The continuity of the neovagina, neocervix, and uterine body was maintained without further interventions in 15 of the 16 patients. During the follow-up, 11 patients were sexually active, 5 were married, 4 were seeking conception, and 2 had spontaneous pregnancy. CONCLUSIONS: Laparoscopically assisted uterovestibular anastomosis seems to be a safe and effective treatment for patients with cervical atresia and complete absence of the vagina, at least in terms of the recovery of menstrual function and sexual activity.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: This study investigated the long-term outcomes of laparascopic sigmoid cervicovaginoplasty in patients with congenital cervicovaginal atresia with a functioning uterus. METHODS: In this case series study, seven patients with cervicovaginal atresia with a functioning uterus underwent laparoscopic sigmoid cervicovaginoplasty surgery between 2016 and 2020. Mean follow-up duration was 25.9 months (2-48 months). All of the patients had regular menstrual cycles. The average length of the vagina was 8.9 cm (7.6-10.5 cm). In one patient, proximal stenosis of neovagina was observed 12 months after surgery. RESULTS: The mean age and body mass index of the patients were 18 years (12-27 years) and 19.7 (17.6-22.4), respectively. The average time period between the initiation of disease symptoms and the operation was 52.28 months (2-156 months). There were no postoperative short-term complications. We did not perform hysterectomy in our patients. None of our patients complained of signs of low anterior resection syndrome. Two patients had sexual activities without dyspareunia, postcoital bleeding, or malodorous vaginal discharge. CONCLUSION: Sigmoid cervicovaginoplasty is a safe and effective procedure with satisfactory long-term outcomes. This surgery eliminates the psychological burden of hysterectomy in these patients. Through preserving the uterus, patients may have a chance of possible future pregnancy if abdominal cerclage is performed.

RESUMEN

The objective of this case series was to describe different uterus-preserving surgical approaches and outcomes in patients with complex obstructive Müllerian duct malformation caused by cervical and/or vaginal anomalies. A retrospective analysis was performed including patients undergoing uterovaginal anastomosis (n = 6) or presenting for follow-up (n = 2) at the Department for Gynecology at the University of Tuebingen between 2017 and 2022. Uterovaginal anastomosis was performed with a one-step combined vaginal and laparoscopic approach (method A), a two-step/primary open abdominal approach with primary vaginal reconstruction followed by abdominal uterovaginal anastomosis after vaginal epithelization (method B) or an attempted one-step approach followed by secondary open abdominal uterovaginal anastomosis due to reobstruction (method A/B). Patients presented at a mean age of 15 years. Two patients were treated by method A, four by method B and two by method A/B. Functional anastomosis was established in seven of eight patients, with normal vaginal length in all patients. Concerning uterovaginal anastomosis, the primary open abdominal approach with or without previous vaginal reconstruction seems to have a higher success rate with fewer procedures and should be implemented as standard surgical therapy for complex obstructive genital malformations including the cervix.

RESUMEN

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To study the long-term outcomes of laparoscopically assisted uterovaginal canalization and vaginoplasty in patients with congenital cervical and vaginal atresia and to introduce the surgery step by step. DESIGN: A prospective observational study from January 2016 to September 2019. SETTING: A tertiary teaching hospital. PATIENTS: Ten women diagnosed with congenital cervical and vaginal atresia. INTERVENTIONS: All women underwent laparoscopically assisted uterovaginal canalization and vaginoplasty. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: All procedures went smoothly, with no case requiring conversion to laparotomy, and no intraoperative complications occurred. Postoperative febrile morbidity occurred in 1 patient (1/10, 10%). The median (interquartile range) follow-up time was 26.0 (21.3, 48.3) months. All patients resumed menstruation, including 9 patients (9/10, 90%) with regular monthly menstruation. Eight patients (8/10, 80%) experienced mild to moderate dysmenorrhea; the remaining 2 patients (2/10, 20%) had no dysmenorrhea. Cervical restenosis occurred in 1 patient (1/10, 10%) 12 months postoperatively, and cervical dilation was performed. So far, 8 months after the second surgery, no restenosis has been found. The mean postoperative vaginal length was 7.9 ± 1.3-cm at the time of the last follow-up. Only 1 patient attempted to conceive for 2 years, but she had not conceived yet. CONCLUSION: Laparoscopically assisted uterovaginal canalization and vaginoplasty is an easy, safe, and promising management option for correcting congenital cervical and vaginal atresia.

RESUMEN

Cervical atresia is a rare association with anorectal malformation (ARM) which can be missed till puberty in the presence of normal vaginal orifice. A 12-year-old girl operated for ARM in neonatal age presented with primary amenorrhea. She had a normal vaginal opening, short perineal body, and prolapsed anteposed anus and was diagnosed with cervical agenesis. As the posterior sagittal approach is standard to place the rectum in correct anatomical position, reconstruction of the anus along with adequate perineal body and uterovaginal anastomosis was performed through this approach. This report highlights the utility and versatility of this approach for the management of such complex cases.

RESUMEN

Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich syndrome (HWWs) is a rare congenital malformation that involves uterus dideslphys, obstructed hemivagina and ipsilateral renal agenesis. The obstructed vagina affects menstrual flow and causes related clinical features after menarche. Pelvic endometriosis is one of the common complications of HWWs. Resection of the vaginal septum can release the obstruction and result in good outcomes. However, in the case of cervical atresia, a rare variant of HWWs, ipsilateral hysterectomy is recommended because it is difficult to canalize cervical atresia surgically. Here we present a case of HWWs with cervical atresia complicated with pelvic endometriosis. She was treated with laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy followed by hormonal therapy. Six months after surgery, there is no evidence of recurrence of endometrioma.

RESUMEN

We present two cases of congenital vaginal agenesis with functional uterine corpus, manifesting with periodic lower abdominal pain and hematometra in adolescence. Both patients were successfully treated with the creation of neovagina and neocanal structures to discharge menstrual blood; this may also facilitate the preservation of fertility. Both cases were characterized by degrees of congenital vaginal agenesis, whether short or completely absent, with no communication between the uterine cavity and external genitalia, as confirmed by physical examination and imaging. We surgically reconstructed a neovagina with the modified McIndoe's procedure, using an artificial skin graft, and canalized to the caudal portion of the uterine cavity. Although redilatation of the neocanal was required, no patient suffered severe infection in postoperative course and both now exhibit regular menstruation. Although hysterectomy has classically been the preferred treatment for such cases, recent technical progression enables treatment of such diseases with conservative and minimally invasive surgery, in a safe manner.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: Pregnancy after an embryo transfer depends largely on embryo quality, endometrial receptivity, and the technique used in the embryo transfer. Embryo transfers have been reported as inevitably traumatic and difficult for 5-7% of patients in assisted reproduction treatment. In these cases, transmyometrial embryo transfer should be considered as a suitable method to overcome difficult embryo transfers. The aim of this study was to report our experience with this technique and analyze its causes, results and complications. METHODS: Since 1993, 39 women (40 cycles of assisted reproductive technology treatment) were submitted to transmyometrial embryo transfers in our center. The procedures were carried out as described by the Towako group. RESULTS: The enrolled female patients had a mean age of 34 years and a mean baseline FSH level of 6.89 IU/mL. The median number of retrieved oocytes was 7.50 and a mean of 2.63 embryos were transferred. Implantation rate was 9.5%. With respect to clinical results, pregnancy and miscarriage rates were 25% and 30%, respectively. Since there were two twin pregnancies, the live birth rate was 22.5% (9/40). No major complications were reported. CONCLUSION: Transmyometrial embryo transfer can and should be an option in cases of difficult/impossible transcervical embryo transfer.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Congenital atresia of the cervix in the setting of an obstructed hemivagina with ipsilateral renal anomaly (OHVIRA) is an unusual occurrence that is frequently missed using preoperative imaging modalities. CASE: A 14-year-old female adolescent presented to a tertiary care facility with abdominal pain associated with a mass. Initial imaging with ultrasound and magnetic resonance suggested OHVIRA but 3-D magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) also correctly identified unilateral cervical atresia on the obstructed left side. SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION: Three-dimensional MRI in the setting of OHVIRA was used successfully in this case to preoperatively identify cervical atresia and to guide preoperative surgical counseling and planning. The use of 3-D MRI for this purpose has, to our knowledge, never been described in the literature. Three-dimensional printed models derived from 3-D MRI can play an evolving role in the management of Müllerian anomalies as preoperative planning and surgical counseling tools.

RESUMEN

STUDY OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to assess short-term benefits and risks of utero-vaginal anastomosis done for cases of cryptomenorrhea due to cervical atresia with vaginal aplasia. DESIGN: Prospective study. SETTING: Surgical procedures were done between December 2013 and September 2015 at the department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Cairo University Hospital. PARTICIPANTS: Five patients who had cryptomenorrhea due to cervical atresia associated with vaginal aplasia were included. INTERVENTIONS: Utero-vaginal anastomoses were performed in 2 stages; a stage of McIndoe vaginoplasty and a stage of excision of the atretic cervical tissue and anastomosing the uterus to the neovagina. Follow-up was done by gynecological and ultrasound examination in a duration ranged from 12 to 36 months. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Occurrence of regular menstrual flow and relief of the severe cyclic pain. RESULTS: All patients had relief of the severe cyclic pain. Four patients had regular menstrual flow. One patient developed occlusion of the track after 1 year and needed dilatation once. Three patients developed low vaginal stenosis without occlusion of the track. One patient had rectal injury repaired without causing postoperative morbidity. CONCLUSION: Uterovaginal anastomosis is a promising conservative management option for cervical atresia with vaginal aplasia, which has benefits but is not free of risks. Long-term follow-up is still needed to judge its feasibility. We recommend performing McIndoe vaginoplasty as a starting stage before the anastomosis preferably in a separate setting.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Congenital uterine anomalies like bicornis or bicornuate uterus are relatively rare in sub-Saharan Africa. They are associated with an increased rate of spontaneous abortion, preterm delivery, and infertility. The occurrence of bicornis bicollis uterus with unilateral cervical atresia is exceptional and its management is controversial. We hereby report a rare cause of chronic pelvic pain in a Cameroonian teenager due to unilateral obstructive hematometra and hematosalpinx in the non-communicating horn of a bicornis bicollis uterus. CASE PRESENTATION: A 13-year-old premenarchal non-virgin female presented with chronic and severe cyclical crampy pelvic pain. On clinical examination, she had a perforated hymen, a single vagina, and one uterine cervix. A two-dimensional pelvic ultrasonography revealed hematometra but missed out the underlying anomaly. Failure to drain the hematometra by serial cervical dilatations prompted an exploratory laparotomy which revealed: bicornis bicollis uterus with a right rudimentary uterine horn communicating with the vagina and a left non-communicating uterine horn distended by hematometra due to a homolateral cervical atresia. She underwent utero-vaginal canalization and a left hemi-hysterotomy with drainage of the hematometra. The postoperative period was uneventful. Regular cyclic menses occurred thereafter beginning at the first postoperative month. She had complete resolution of symptoms without recurrence after six months. CONCLUSION: Due to the risk of compromised fertility from bicornis uterus and the diagnostic challenges akin to resource-limited settings, we highlight the need for a high index of suspicion by healthcare providers when faced with chronic pelvic pain in premenarchal adolescents.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To introduce our experience of robotic surgery of reconstructive uterovaginal anastomosis and operative outcomes in congenital cervical and vaginal atresia patients. METHODS: Clinical observation and follow-up of four patients with congenital cervical and vaginal atresia who underwent robotic reconstruction of cervix and vagina by SIS (small intestinal submucosa, SIS) graft. RESULTS: Average patient age was 13.8 ± 2.2. Patients complained of severe periodic abdominal pain. Diagnosis was made according to clinical characteristics, physical examination, MRI and classified by ESHRE/ESGE system. All patients underwent reconstruction of cervix and vagina by uterovaginal anastomosis by SIS graft. Average operation time was 232.5 ± 89.2 min, average blood loss was 225.0 ± 95.7 mL. After surgery, all patients have regular menstruation without pain. Average follow up was 12 months, average vagina length was 8.9 ± 0.3 cm, average vagina width was 2.9 ± 0.1 cm. CONCLUSION: Robotic assisted reconstruction of cervix and vagina is feasible from our experience, enlarged cases and additional studies are required.
