Dr. Li Fengyong
Vaginal reconstruction surgery is suitable for patients with congenital absence of the vagina and is also commonly used in gender reassignment surgery, where the male genital organs can be completely removed followed by vaginal reconstruction. Additionally, in cases where the perineal region is affected by malignant tumors, it is often necessary to completely remove the perineal and vaginal tissues to control the disease. After such removal, the appearance of the entire perineal area is significantly altered; in such cases, vaginal reconstruction surgery can be performed to improve cosmetic and functional outcomes.
