Vaginal reconstruction surgery is particularly suitable for patients with congenital absence of the vagina, a condition typically caused by developmental abnormalities during fetal stages that result in defective vaginal formation. Patients suffering from vaginal atresia, male pseudohermaphroditism, testicular feminization syndrome, or those seeking gender reassignment surgery, can also undergo vaginal reconstruction under medical guidance.
