BACKGROUND: Examination under anesthesia (EUA) with diagnostic vaginoscopy is an invaluable method in the lower genital tract assessment of pediatric and adolescent females. The literature on this topic remains scarce.
METHODS: This is a retrospective medical notes review of all patients who underwent EUA with or without vaginoscopy over the past 5 years at a pediatric and adolescent gynecology unit specializing in disorders of sex development (DSD).
RESULTS: From 2005 to 2010, 83 patients underwent 92 procedures. All procedures were performed under general anesthesia, and a 3-mm pediatric cystoscope was used for vaginoscopy. Of the 92 cases, 33 (36%) were EUA alone and 59 (64%) consisted of a combined EUA and vaginoscopy. The mean age was 13.3 ± 3.7 years. The most common indications included assessment for reconstructive surgery (33.7%), vaginal stenosis (21.7%), vaginal discharge (19.6%), vaginal bleeding (16.3%), and pelvic pain (8.7%). Most (61%) of those presenting for assessment for reconstructive surgery had a DSD and history of surgical correction in early childhood. In 88 cases (96%), the evaluation was satisfactory and a diagnosis was reached or normality confirmed. Four cases (4%) required further investigation. No significant intraoperative or postoperative complications were encountered. Of the 92 cases, 15 (16%) required a further minor procedure, which was performed at the time of the EUA/vaginoscopy. Another 33 (36%) required further major surgery, which was performed at a later date.
CONCLUSION: EUA/vaginoscopy is a safe and highly useful method in the assessment of the lower genital tract in pediatric and adolescent patients.
