A comparative study on the anatomic and psychosexual outcomes after neovaginoplasty
for Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome, conducted by Jha and Singh,
1
has recently appeared in your journal. Using the established measure of Female Sexual
Function Index (FSFI), the authors did not demonstrate a difference in the psychosexual
outcomes between women with neovaginoplasty and the general population (FSFI score:
27.8 ± 1.4 vs. 27.3 ± 4.1), but rather reported on a slightly shorter vagina in operated
patients as compared with those in the general population (8.6 ± 1.8 cm vs. 9.3 ±
2.6 cm).

Neither did Zhao et al.
2
find a difference in the FSFI score between the operated patients and a control group,
with a 6-month postoperative effect on vaginal length and width (8.2 ± 0.8 cm and
3.0 ± 0.6 cm, respectively). Kang et al.
3
found similar FSFI results between a nonsurgical group with vaginal dilation and
a surgical group, however, with a significantly shorter vagina in the former group
(6.5 ± 2.04 cm vs. 8.1 ± 1.59 cm).To read this article in full you will need to make a payment
