Abstract
We studied the operative and functional outcomes of combined retropubic balloon vaginoplasty and laparoscopic canalization (RBV-LC) for treatment of cervicovaginal aplasia. The RBV-LC procedure was performed successfully in 4 cases of cervicovaginal aplasia within 35-40 minutes primary operative time. Cystoscopy was performed to ensure bladder and urethral integrity. Endoscopically monitored canalization with laparoscopic canalization is a feasible, effective, less invasive way for management of cervicovaginal aplasia.
