Abstract
The George modification of the Sheares technique represents a simple, safe, and effective surgical option for creating a neovagina. The procedure is not highly complex and is therefore easy to learn and perform; no special surgical equipment is needed. Anatomic and functional results are very satisfying. Short-term hospitalization, accelerated recovery, and a rapid return to everyday life are important benefits for these young patients. These benefits also result in lower surgery-related expenses and therefore reduce the strain on the hospital's budget compared with other therapeutic options. The creation of a neovagina according to Wharton-Sheares-George might provide a satisfactory alternative for the surgical management of vaginal aplasia in patients with MRKH syndrome.
