چکیده
Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome, a congenital anomaly of the female genital tract, is characterized by vaginal agenesis, a rudimentary to absent uterus compromising the normal functions of the genital tract, thereby causing psychological trauma. This syndrome is estimated to occur in approximately 1 in every 4500 females [1]. Patients with vaginal agenesis in MRKH syndrome can be treated by both surgical and non-surgical procedures. However irrespective of the procedure opted, prosthetic vaginal dilators or long-term vaginal stents are required to prevent the possible contraction of the reconstructed vagina and to maintain vaginal width and depth to avoid vaginal stenosis. The use of prosthetic vaginal dilators for non-surgical procedure for the creation of neovagina for patients with Jothikumar Kamalakannan is a Professor at Asan Memorial Dental College and Hospitals; Varsha Murthy is a Associate Professor at Indira Gandhi Institute of Dental Sciences; Kularashmi is a Professor at Asan Memorial Dental College and Hospitals; Kirti Jajoo is a Assistant professor at Peoples Dental Academy.

The use of a silicone-coated acrylic vaginal stent in McIndoe vaginoplasty and review of the literature concerning silicone-based vaginal stents: a case report
BACKGROUND Mc Indoe vaginoplasty is one of the mostly performed surgical interventions in Mullerian agenesis. CASE PRESENTATIONS We present our experience on the use of a new designed vaginal stent that was coated with silicone in two mullerian agenesis cases who had Mc Indoe vaginoplasty. Both full thickness and splitt thickness skin graft were used with the stent. No graft loss or hyperthro...

sible and clinically beneficial to all patients in this cohort who were stented. In a previous paper, the same authors showed that stenting the RSC was better achieved using a dedicated silicone stent with a horizontal branch for the right upper lobe [5] . In fact, other authors have already published case reports [6–8] regarding stenting of the LSC both in malignant and benign conditions. All ...
متن کاملFabrication of a silver particle-integrated silicone polymer-covered metal stent against sludge and biofilm formation and stent-induced tissue inflammation
To reduce tissue or tumor ingrowth, covered self-expandable metal stents (SEMSs) have been developed. The effectiveness of covered SEMSs may be attenuated by sludge or stone formation or by stent clogging due to the formation of biofilm on the covering membrane. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that a silicone membrane containing silver particles (Ag-P) would prevent sludge and biofilm f...
