Comparison of Sheares vaginoplasty, vaginoplasty using acellular porcine small intestinal submucosa graft and laparoscopic peritoneal vaginoplasty in patients with Mayer-Rokitansky-K üster-Hauser syndrome
ConclusionSheares vaginoplasty and the vaginoplasty using SIS graft caused less trauma and provided similar functional results to laparoscopic peritoneal vaginoplasty. However, the patients in the Sheares group and SIS graft group needed to wear the mould for a longer duration post-surgery. Sheares vaginoplasty can provide a valuable and economic alternative method for the creation of a neovagina in patients with MRKHS. (Source: International Urogynecology Journal)

Fitness to Serve in the Armed Forces and Internal Medicine: A Retrospective Study
CONCLUSIONS: We have described the first exhaustive study of specialized fitness decisions referred to an internal medicine department. One-third of the referred patients were declared fit to serve in the armed forces. Further studies are needed to confirm these results, as our study was monocentric. Fitness decisions must take into account the disease, the treatment, and the operational field characteristics. Soldiers with systemic diseases controlled by immunosuppressive agents can serve in tropical areas if they can reach adequate sanitary structures in a short time. The knowledge of systemic diseases as well as the ski...

Adenomyosis in a uterine horn of a patient with Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome
BMJ Case Rep. 2022 Feb 7;15(2):e244127. doi: 10.1136/bcr-2021-244127.ABSTRACTA 37-year-old woman with a previous diagnosis of Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome at 18 years of age was referred from a primary healthcare physician to a gynaecology appointment in our centre. She presented with a 2-year worsening pelvic pain and dyspareunia, symptoms that were previously absent and, at the time, with inadequate relief with oral analgesia. Physical examination showed absent uterine cervix and hypoplastic superior vagina. Transvaginal ultrasound and MRI suggested the presence of an hypoplasic uterus in left rotation. Laparo...

Uterine Transplantation: Recipient Patient Populations
Uterine transplantation is an emerging treatment for patients with uterine factor infertility (UFI). In order to determine patient candidacy for transplant, it is imperative to understand how to identify, counsel and treat uterine transplant recipients. In this article, we focus on patient populations with UFI, whether congenital or acquired, including Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser, complete androgen insensitivity syndrome, hysterectomy, and other causes of nonabsolute UFI. Complete preoperative screening of recipients should be required to assess the candidacy of each individual prior to undergoing this extensive treatme...

Genetic Screening and Teratogenic Exposures: Considerations in Caring for the Uterus Transplant Patient
Counseling the uterus transplant patient requires an enhanced knowledge of unique genetic challenges that include an understanding of the spectrum of Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome. Patients should understand their options for genetic screening and testing including preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy, genetic screening, and diagnostic testing. This patient population is potentially at risk for fetal anomalies due to the increased susceptibility to infections, such as cytomegalovirus. There are management strategies to minimize this risk. The risk of teratogenicity from mycophenolate is eliminated by a...

Psychological intervention in women with Mayer-Rokitansky-K üster-Hauser syndrome after artificial vaginoplasty: a prospective study
ConclusionsMRKH patients are at a great risk of depression and anxiety problems after artificial vaginoplasty. Early psychological intervention can alleviate these symptoms. Ongoing psychological support was needed to eliminate emotional burden during MRKH treatment, and further study is sorely needed to identify its appropriate timing and method.
