UNASSIGNED: Colpohysterectomy is sometimes associated with a large upper colpectomy resulting in a shortened vagina, potentially impacting sexual function. We report on a preliminary experience of a laparoscopic colpoplasty to restore a normal vaginal length. @entity1 with shortened vaginas after a laparoscopic colpohysterectomy were considered for a laparoscopic modified Davydov's procedure to create a new vaginal vault using the peritoneum of the rectum and bladder. From 2010 to 2014, 8 @entity1 were offered this procedure, after informed preoperative consent. Indications were 2 extensive recurrent @entity5436 grade 3 and 6 radical hysterectomies for cervical @entity5 . Mean vaginal length before surgery was 3.8  cm (standard deviation, 1.6). Median operative time was 50  minutes (range, 45-90). @entity190 was minimal (50-100  mL). No perioperative @entity532 occurred. Median vaginal length at discharge was 11.3  cm (range, 9-13). Sexual intercourse could be resumed around 10  weeks after surgery. At a median follow-up of 33.8  months (range, 2.4-51.3), 6 @entity1 remained sexually active but 2 had stopped. Although this experience is small, this laparoscopic modified Davydov's procedure seems to be an effective procedure, adaptable to each @entity1 's anatomy. If the initial postoperative regular self-dilatation is carefully observed, vaginal patency is durably restored and enables normal sexual function.
