Abstract
-
McIndoe procedure using the colonic segment has been used in treatment of patients with Mullerian agenesis. Prolapse of a colonic neovagina is rare condition and its treatment is not yet standardized. We experienced a case of neovaginal prolapse following McIndoe procedure using colonic segment. A 51-year-old woman developed prolapse of a neovagina 17 years after the McIndoe operation. She had been diagnosed to have Mullerian agenesis and was managed by McIndoe operation using colonic segment. The prolapse was successfully managed with transvaginal sacrospinous colpopexy. She has no sign of recurrent prolapse and is satisfied with sexual intercourse. Patients with neovaginal prolapse following McIndoe procedure can be treated successfully with transvaginal sacrospinous colpopexy.
