LIU Xin-min
Abstract：Congenital absence of the vagina is usually associated with the Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser(MRKH)syndrome,which characterized by absence of vagina and uterus.Patients presenting with primary amenorrhea and dyspareunia should be distinguished from other defects of genital tract development such as vaginal atresia and androgen insensitivity syndrome.Treatment could be surgieal(vasinoplasty)and nonsurgical(Frank's technique).Currently,the most widely used remedies are laparotomy or laparoscopic Vecchietti procedure and vaginoplasty with sigmoid or peritoneum.
