Background:The uterine and vaginal agenesis, MayerRokitansky-Küster-Hauser Syndrome (SMRKH), is a congenital malformation that implies in the impairment of sexual activity and reproductive life. The first line therapy is nonsurgical (dilatation method) but surgical methods may be necessary to create a functional neovagina. In the surgical procedure, various types of graft materials have been used to line the neovagina, and recently, alternative grafts have been studied to minimize adverse effects. Our aim was to establish vaginal primary cultures in order to prove the feasibility of cell therapy for the reconstruction of the vaginal lining.
