[Objectives] To evaluate the functional outcomes and technical feasibility of laparoscopically sigmoid colon vaginoplasty in women with congenital absence of vagina.[Methods] Clinical data of eleven women with congenital absence of vagina treated by laparoscopically sigmoid colon vaginoplasty were retrospectively analyzed.A record was made of operating time,bleeding volume,postoperative complications,anatomical and functional outcomes of artificial vagina.[Results] The mean operating time was 143.7 min and the mean bleeding volume was 123.7 mL.There were no significant postoperative complications and all women and their partners were satisfied with the subsequent sexual activity.[Conclusions] Laparoscopically sigmoid colon vaginoplasty is a feasible,safe and effective approach for women with congenital absence of vagina.
