PFD Week 2016-Modified Laparoscopic Davydov Neovagina Procedure in a Patient with a Surgically Shortened Vagina

Modified Laparoscopic Davydov Neovagina Procedure in a Patient with a Surgically Shortened Vagina

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses the issue of vaginal shortening following pelvic floor surgery and presents a novel technique for vaginal lengthening using a modified laparoscopic davidov neovagina technique. It explains that prior surgery and vaginal reconstructive surgery can lead to shorter vaginal length, lower sexual function, and scarring. The video features a case study of a 52-year-old female who experienced pain, mesh extrusion, dyspareunia, and vaginal shortening after total vaginal mesh surgery. The modified laparoscopic davidov procedure is performed to create a full-length functional vagina using the pelvic peritoneum. The video concludes that the procedure significantly increased the patient's vaginal length from 5.5 to 12.5 centimeters and offers a promising solution for vaginal shortening.
