Abstract
Background
Gonadal dysgenesis, a genetic condition characterized by incomplete of defective formation of the gonads, can present with vaginal agenesis in individuals with 46, XY karyotype.
Case
We report an innovative intervention in the management of vaginal agenesis in a 19-year-old female with gonadal dysgenesis. Despite initial attempts with vaginal dilators, the patient presented unresponsive, leading to the adoption of a neovaginoplasty using Nile Tilapia Fish Skin (NTFS) as graft. The procedure, based on the McIndoe technique, involved the creation of a 10 cm x 3 cm vaginal canal with an NTFS-wrapped acrylic mold without complications.
Conclusion
The use of NTFS as a graft for neovaginoplasty in gonadal dysgenesis, a novel approach not previously reported in medical literature for this diagnosis, demonstrated favorable outcomes in terms of functionality and patient well-being.
