Vaginal approach remains one of the safest and easiest surgical procedures to treat many gynaecological pathologies such as cervico-vaginal fibroids or vaginal septum.These classical procedures are, however, hindered by the disruption of the integrity of the hymen, an issue that remains controversial if not unfavourable in certain conservative geographical areas such as the Middle East.Herein, we describe 3 alternative surgical laparoscopic techniques to deal with the issue of hymen conservation. In the first 2 cases we suggest a laparoscopic approach through an anterior or a posterior colpotomy to treat large cervico-vaginal fibroids. In the third case, we propose a laparoscopic technique for the resection of a vaginal septum in a young girl with obstructed hemivagina and ipsilateral renal agenesis syndrome.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
