Case Report: Digitally fabricated acrylic vaginal stent for a female with isolated vaginal agenesis

Abstract

A common congenital abnormality affecting the female genital system is vaginal agenesis. It may appear on its own as a developmental aberration or as a component of a larger collection of anomalies. This disorder is frequently linked to the MRKH syndrome (Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome). A new vaginal canal must be made and positioned between the bladder and the rectum in order to treat vaginal agenesis. Long-term effectiveness depends on maintaining the width and depth of the surgically created vaginal region and avoiding restriction. In this article, the surgical management of nonsyndromic vaginal agenesis in a 42-year-old lady is described. Digital fabrication methods were used to create a personalised acrylic vaginal stent. This customised vaginal stent helped gain patency of vaginal canal. These stents can be used to prevent neovaginal stricture and shrinking as well as to preserve the width and depth of the vaginal canal.
