Vaginoscopic Incision of Oblique Vaginal Septum in Adolescents with OHVIRA Syndrome

This study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of vaginoscopic incision of oblique vaginal septum in adolescents with Obstructed hemi-vagina and ipsilateral renal agenesis (OHVIRA) syndrome. It is about Fourteen adolescents with OHVIRA syndrome managed by vaginoscopic incision of the oblique vaginal septum using a “No-touch” technique over an 8-year period. In all fourteen adolescents with OHVIRA the oblique vaginal septum was incised successfully without any intraoperative complications. Postoperative pain was unremarkable and each patient’s symptoms resolved postoperatively. The 3-month postoperative follow up office vaginoscopy revealed that the vaginal septum had not reformed nor was any vaginal stenosis noted. Vaginoscopic incision of the oblique vaginal septum using a “No-Touch” technique is a safe, minimally invasive, and effective approach for treating OHVIRA syndrome in adolescents with hematocolpos. This technique may be utilized to minimize disruption to the undeveloped vaginal wall and postoperative pain while providing excellent surgical visualization throughout the procedure.
