Abstract
The correction of vaginal agenesis requires the creation of a canal that is in the correct axis and ideally of adequate size, texture, and secretion. A simple surgical technique is described which has a good anatomic and functional result with minimal morbidity. It combines the traditional dissection of the rectovesical space described by McIndoe with a significantly modified vulvovaginoplasty based on the Williams method. The technique has been performed with good results and no complications in three patients. Closely monitored vaginal dilatation is essential in the postoperative period. At this stage, only one patient has engaged in intercourse.
