This paper reviews the use of laparoscopy for diagnosis and treatment of uterovaginal anomalies.

One-sentence paraphrase of the abstract; not a substitute for reading it. No clinical advice. How this works

Abstract

Providing its excellent visualization, access to pelvic structures, and less postoperative adhesion, laparoscopy has been an important tool for the treatment of uterovaginal anomalies. We have used it to define the anomaly, monitor endometriosis or a hysteroscopic procedure, replace an absent vagina, and resect abnormal Müllerian structures. This article details the technique and reports the results of the use of operative laparoscopy for the treatment of uterovaginal anomalies in children and adolescents. The author's experience demonstrates some"nonclassical" applications of endosurgery in the management of these anomalies in the pediatric age.
