| Abstract: | Background: A longitudinal vaginal septum is a rare congenital anomaly that can cause dyspareunia, difficulty with tampon insertion, persistent vaginal bleeding, and dysmenorrhea. Various surgical techniques have been described.; Case: We present the case of a 14-year-old girl with obesity and diabetes mellitus with uterine didelphys and double vagina with a longitudinal vaginal septum. The patient presented with dysmenorrhea. Resection of the longitudinal vaginal septum using a GIA and EndoGIA (Medtronic, Inc, Doral Fl) stapler device was performed.; Summary and Conclusion: We introduce a safe and effective technique for resecting a longitudinal vaginal septum using stapler technology. This technique eliminates the potential risk of thermal injury to nearby structures from currently described methods.; (Copyright © 2020 North American Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology.
