Congenital malformations that include vaginal agenesis require surgical treatment in childhood, but deforming sequelae present in adulthood constitute a reason for consultation that must be solved. This case is intended to highlight the importance of integrating surgical and complementary techniques in the safe treatment of disabling surgical sequelae in vaginal reconstruction showing the results of the combined treatment with botulinum toxin and adipose stem cells in a patient with Mayer Rokitansky syndrome and post-surgical vaginal stenosis. This treatment decreased the pain and contracture of the vaginal introitus that allowed physical examination and that patient was reintegrated into sexual life. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The incidence of vaginal agenesis is 1/4000-10000 female alive newborns. The most frequent cause is Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome. A technique for vaginal reconstruction using the vulvoperineal fasciocutaneous flaps (Malaga flaps) in a pediatric patient affected of this syndrome is presented, describing the steps of the procedure and its anatomic basis. This technique allows the reconstruction of an excellent quality and sensible neovagina, with a physiologic inclination angle which allows the sexual intercourse, in one single stage operation and with minimal morbidity. The main inconvenient of this procedure is the hair growth inside the vagina, although it diminishes with the passage of time due to follicular atrophy and cutaneous metaplasy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
