Restore the Continuity of Uterus-Cervix-Vagina for Cervical Restenosis after Cervicovaginal Reconstruction: A Case Report

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Congenital cervical and vaginal atresia in the presence of a functioning endometrium is an extremely rare disease. Cervicovaginal reconstruction preserves fertility for these patients. We present the case of a 20-year-old patient who had cervicovaginal reconstruction 7 years ago due to congenital cervical and vaginal aplasia. However, with the cervical catheter falling off this year, this patient had severe dysmenorrhea and was diagnosed with cervical restenosis. Finally, this patient was successfully treated with laparoscopic cervical reconstruction. Restoring the continuity of uterus-cervix-vagina for cervical restenosis after cervicovaginal reconstruction is feasible. After cervicovaginal reconstruction, the placement time of the cervical catheter should be extended appropriately to avoid cervical restenosis.
