Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome is a congenital Mullerian anomaly characterized by agenesis of uterus and upper vagina in women with normal secondary sexual characteristics and normal ovarian function. Creation of a functional neovagina is essential for sexual function and psychological wellbeing. Laparoscopic Davydov vaginoplasty utilizes autologous peritoneum and offers excellent anatomical and functional outcomes. We reported a case of a 21‑year‑old female presenting with primary amenorrhea diagnosed with MRKH syndrome and successfully managed with laparoscopic Davydov vaginoplasty. The procedure was completed without complications. A neovaginal length of 8 cm was achieved with satisfactory anatomical outcome. Laparoscopic Davydov vaginoplasty is a safe, minimally invasive, and effective technique for vaginal reconstruction in MRKH syndrome.
