Introduction: To compare the modified McIndoe versus Davydov vaginoplasty techniques in terms of anatomical results, sexual performance, and satisfaction. Methods: From September 2019 to June 2021, a comparative study was conducted on 20 patients with MRKH syndrome who underwent either McIndoe vaginoplasty (McIndoe group, 10 cases) or Davydov vaginoplasty (Davydov group, 10 cases) in a university-based tertiary care hospital (Imam Khomeini Hospital) in terms of anatomical results, sexual performance, and satisfaction. Functional results were assessed using the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI). Results: All surgical procedures (n = 20) were performed successfully. Patients in the modified McIndoe group were similar to those in the Davydov group in terms of hospital stay and intraoperative complications. However, postoperative complications were higher in the McIndoe group. There were no significant differences in the neovaginal length and width of the two groups at the 6-month follow-up (P > 0.05). Other parameters (duration of mold use and blood transfusion) were similar for all patients in the two groups. At 12 months after surgery, all patients had regular sexual activity. No significant differences were found in either group. Conclusions: In terms of anatomical results, sexual performance, and satisfaction, the two techniques were similar. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
