                            <p>Bu yazıda, amenore ve vajen yokluğu şikayetleri ile kliniğe başvuran hastalarda yapılan laparoskopik incelemeler sonucunda saptanan 4 Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (RKH) sendromu olgusu değerlendirilmiştir. Laparoskopi sayesinde, uterus taslakları, normal görünümlü tüpler ve farklı konum ve gelişimde overler doğrudan gözlenebilmiş, gerekli durumlarda biopsi yapılabilmiştir. Laparoskopi, laparotomiye gerek kalmadan iç genital organların anatomik yapılarını değerlendirme ve kesin tanı koyma imkânı sunmuştur. Minimal invazif oluşu, kısa hastanede kalış süresi ve yüksek tanısal değeri nedeniyle, RKH sendromu gibi konjenital Müllerian anomalilerde laparoskopi tercih edilen bir yöntemdir.</p></trans-abstract>

All patients underwent laparoscopic examination, which revealed uterine remnants, normal-appearing tubes, and ovaries in variable positions and development. Laparoscopy allowed direct visualization of internal genital structures and facilitated biopsies, providing definitive diagnosis without the need for laparotomy. Its minimal invasiveness, short hospital stay, and diagnostic value make laparoscopy a preferred method in the evaluation of congenital Müllerian anomalies like RKH syndrome.</p></abstract>
