The Kyunghyang Shinmun published an article about robot-assisted peritoneal vaginoplasty performed in June at Kangdong Sacred Heart Hospital's LGBTQ+ Center for a patient with MRKH syndrome.
The article introduced how the Center is expanding the application of robot-assisted peritoneal vaginoplasty beyond patients with MRKH syndrome to include patients with various congenital differences of sex development (DSD) and patients requiring vaginal reconstruction because of gynecologic conditions. It also covered how the Center provides individualized treatment that considers each patient's anatomical characteristics and treatment goals through multidisciplinary collaboration among several departments, led by Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and including Obstetrics and Gynecology, Urology, Endocrinology, and Psychiatry.
