Video Summary

Summary: In this video, a rare case of vaginal prolapse in a 19-year-old with Meyer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome is discussed. The patient presented with symptoms of constant pressure and irritation, along with anxiety and unhappiness. Non-surgical options such as observation or a pessary fitting were discussed, but surgery was eventually chosen. The patient used vaginal dilators, estradiol cream, and physical therapy for four months to prepare for the surgery. A suture-based sacrospinous ligament fixation was performed, resulting in optimal suspension of the vaginal apex. The patient had minimal pain post-surgery and was discharged after one day. She is happy with the surgical outcome and all symptoms have been resolved.<br /><br />Credit: The video transcript does not provide any specific credits.
