Abstract: Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome is the congenital absence of the vagina and uterus.The aim of this case series is to evaluate the anatomical and functional outcomes of a new vaginoplasty technique called the Nazik Neovagina Technique.Nine women with MRKH syndrome between the years of 2018-2024 were included in the study.The women underwent laparoscopic surgery using the Nazik Neovaginal Technique.The mean vaginal length was 9.78±1.39cm at the first month after surgery and 8.56±1.13cm at the sixth month.None of the patients developed complications.Vaginal epithelialization was complete in all patients.Six of the nine patients were sexually active at six months after surgery.The other three patients were not active because they did not yet have a partner.Two women who were sexually active developed vaginal infections.The Nazik Neovagina Technique is considered an easy-to-learn and easy-to-use surgical treatment option with less vaginal stricture.
