Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich Syndrome; laparoscopic treatment of obstructing longitudinal vaginal septum in patients with hematocolpos - a different technique for virgin patients

Journal Title: Journal of the Turkish-German Gynecological Association - Year 2020, Vol 21, Issue 4

Abstract

We aimed to define a new laparoscopic treatment approach for patients with hematocolpos and obstructed hemi-vagina due to longitudinal obstructing vaginal septum. This technique is particularly useful for patients who desire to preserve virginity. To the best of our knowledge this is the first case reporting laparoscopic resection of vaginal septum with an obstructed hemivagina and hematocolpos.
