Vaginal reconstruction surgery is suitable for patients with congenital absence of the vagina. Developmental abnormalities during fetal development that result in abnormal vaginal formation can be treated through vaginal reconstruction to enable satisfactory sexual intercourse after marriage. True hermaphrodites possess both ovarian and testicular tissues, with ambiguous external genitalia and varying dominance of estrogen or other hormones in the body. Gonadal tissue should be removed as early as possible, and vaginal reconstruction can be performed if the vagina is absent or poorly developed.
