Laparoscopic Colpo-Pneumo Occluder as a Vaginal Mold for Vaginal Reconstruction - 21/01/21
, Levent Mutlu, MD 2, Oz Harmanli, MD 3Abstract |
Background |
Currently, there is no commercially available soft vaginal mold designed for reconstructive surgeries for congenital vaginal anomalies. Stricter operating room regulations discourage the use of makeshift molds from foams and gloves. A colpo-pneumo-occluder balloon is designed to maintain pneumoperitoneum after colpotomy in laparoscopic hysterectomies and is approved for use in vaginal surgeries.
Case |
A 17-year-old girl with a congenital transverse vaginal septum experienced recurrent obstruction and hematocolpos. We successfully used a colpo-pneumo-occluder balloon as a vaginal mold during postoperative care. Its size and design make this device ideal for use in vaginal reconstructive surgeries in adolescents.
Summary and Conclusion |
The laparoscopic colpo-pneumo-occluder, a sterile vaginal device, is appropriate to use as an adjustable, soft vaginal mold for correction of congenital and acquired vaginal anomalies.
