    Area of Science:

    • Reproductive Medicine
    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Medical Genetics

    Background:

    • Vaginal malformations encompass a spectrum of congenital anomalies.
    • Total vaginal agenesis and lesser defects present distinct clinical challenges.
    • Understanding embryogenesis and etiology is crucial for diagnosis and management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the incidence, embryogenesis, etiology, and associated anomalies of vaginal malformations.
    • To evaluate the impact of surgical management improvements on patient outcomes.
    • To highlight critical factors for successful patient care.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 254 patients diagnosed with vaginal malformations.
    • Review of embryological and etiological data related to these anomalies.

  • Assessment of surgical outcomes and complications over time.

    • Main Results:

    • 167 patients presented with total vaginal agenesis, while 87 had lesser vaginal defects.
    • Improvements in surgical management have demonstrably reduced complications.
    • Enhanced surgical techniques have led to significantly improved patient results.

    Conclusions:

    • Comprehensive preoperative evaluation and patient preparation are essential.
    • Prolonged postoperative supervision and support are critical for optimal outcomes.
    • Advances in surgical care have positively transformed the prognosis for vaginal malformations.
