- Abstract
Surgical creation of a neovagina using the sigmoid was one of the main techniques used in patients with Mayer-Rokinatsky-Küster-Hauser syndrome. Nowadays, this surgery is not common as a result of the high frequency of complications and adverse outcomes, one of which is sigmoid neovagina prolapse. There are no standards of treatment because of the rarity of these clinical events; therefore, any medical case is important. We present a case report of a 72-year-old patient with prolapse of the sigmoid stump. Perscrutation of this example allows us to conclude that laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy is the optimal operation for patients with apical prolapse and a history of sigmoidal colpopoiesis owing to its high level of safety and excellent outcomes.
