Vaginal approach remains one of the safest and easiest surgical procedures to treat many gynaecological pathologies such as cervico-vaginal fibroids or vaginal septum.
These classical procedures are, however, hindered by the disruption of the integrity of the hymen, an issue that remains controversial if not unfavourable in certain conservative geographical areas such as the Middle East. Herein, we describe 3 alternative surgical laparoscopic techniques to deal with the issue of hymen conservation. In the first 2 cases we suggest a laparoscopic approach through an anterior or a posterior colpotomy to treat large cervico-vaginal fibroids. In the third case, we propose a laparoscopic technique for the resection of a vaginal septum in a young girl with obstructed hemivagina and ipsilateral renal agenesis syndrome. keywords:
