title: Vaginal malformations.
abstract: Of 254 patients with vaginal malformations, 167 had total vaginal agenesis and 87 had lesser defects. Incidence, embryogenesis, etiology, and associated anomalies are described. Improvements in surgical management have diminished complications and improved results. Preoperative investigation and preparation of the patient and prolonged postoperative supervision and support are critical.
