Davydov-Moore vaginoplasty in Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome: sexual and surgical outcomes.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare surgical and sexual outcomes after Davidov-Moore vaginoplasty in women with Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome (MRKH).

Methods: In the case-series study, we described seven women, at a median age of 22.6 ± and BMI 22.8 ± 2.3 kg/m². We measured peri- and postsurgical parameters, including surgery-related neovaginal length and sexual initiation time. Sexual outcomes were measured using the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) before and 6 months after vaginoplasty.

Results: All surgical procedures were performed successfully, with one minor perioperative bleeding. The mean time of vaginoplasty was 82.1 min and the mean duration of hospitalization was six days. After a 6-month follow-up, vaginal length was 8.1-times longer than before surgery (10 vs. 81 mm). The time from the surgery to the initiation of vaginal intercourse was between 17 to 22 weeks. The mean FSFI score indicated good results, with no women below 23 score, and was 4.3- times higher when compared with the pre-surgical one (6.7 vs 29.1). Contrary to the FSFI score before surgery, the post-surgical FSFI revealed higher scores in all six different domains: desire (2.5-times), arousal (4.1-times), lubrication (3.8-times), orgasm (3.4-times), satisfaction (3.3-times) and comfort (11-times).

Conclusion: Laparoscopic Davydov-Moore vaginoplasty might be considered as a safe procedure with satisfactory anatomic and sexual outcomes. It should be considered as a treatment option for the creation of neovagina in women with MRKH.
