    Area of Science:

    • Anatomy
    • Pelvic Surgery
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • The normal anatomy of the vagina is crucial for understanding pelvic organ function.
    • Previous studies have not precisely defined the vaginal axis, length, and direction.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To precisely determine the axis, length, and direction of the normal vagina.
    • To highlight the importance of restoring the normal vaginal axis in pelvic surgery.

    Main Methods:

    • Vaginograms were performed on 20 healthy women.
    • Radiographic measurements were used to define key vaginal parameters.

    Main Results:

    • The vagina is a curved organ with a distinct upper portion.
    • The normal vaginal axis is located between the third and fourth sacral vertebrae.

    Conclusions:

    • The defined vaginal axis is essential for accurate anatomical understanding.
    • Restoring the normal vaginal axis is critical in pelvic reconstructive surgery, particularly for vault prolapse.
