Serviço de Cirurgia Plástica e Reconstrutiva, Hospital de S. José, Lisboa.

In the last 10 years we treated ten patients with the diagnosis of vaginal agenesia. The reconstruction was performed according to the McIndoe procedure. The medical records of these patients were retrospectively reviewed in what concerns the diagnosis (Mayer-Rokitansky S.-7, Androgenital S.-1, Testicular feminization S.-1), classification, treatment, complications, and outcome. It is the authors' opinion that the McIndoe method is the most appropriate for the treatment of vaginal agenesia, because of its simplicity, low morbidity and absence of mortality.
