Association of the rectovestibular fistula with MRKH Syndrome and the paradigm shift in the management in view of the future uterine transplant

Abstract

Uterine transplantation in Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) patients with absolute uterine function infertility have added a new dimension and paradigm shift in the management of females born with rectovestibular fistula coexisting with vaginal agenesis. The author reviewed the relevant literature of this rare association, the popular and practical classifications of genital malformations that the gynecologists use, the different vaginal reconstruction techniques, and try to know what shall serve best in this small cohort of these patients lest they wish to go for uterine transplantation in future.
