In patients who were admitted with hydrometrocolpos, distal vaginal atresia and transverse vaginal septum should be considered in differential diagnosis of imperforate hymen. This video shows 3 patients in adolescence age who were referred to our center with prediagnosis of imperforate hymen and hydrometrocolpos. Distal vaginal atresia was detected in two and the third one had transverse vaginal septum. The video emphasize importance of preoperative radiological investigation; peroperative laparoscopic, ultrasonographic and rectal examination guided perineal exploration. Laparoscopy guided perineal vaginoplasty was performed in patients with diagnosis of distal vaginal atesia and vaginovaginoplasty was done following a punction of thick septum in case with diagnosis of transverse vaginal septum. Dilatation schedule was planned following the procedures and patients did well postoperatively.
