Transverse vaginal septums may present at different levels depending on the developmental aberration. When the obstruction is complete and the patient starts menstruating the patient develops a haematocolpos and the subsequent management is simple. In patients presenting with concurrent primary amenorrhoea it becomes difficult to plan surgery because operating vaginally, the upper limit of the septum remains dubious and also there is inherent danger of injury to ...
Single Surgical Procedures in Obstetrics and Gynaecology–02: VULVA-A Colour Atlas of Operations on the Vulva
Complete blockage of the hymen of the vaginal orifice is rare, occurring in approximately 0.05–0.1% of newborn girls.

This condition requires an excision of ...

Single Surgical Procedures in Obstetrics and Gynaecology–20: A Colour Atlas of Surgery for Vault Prolapse
Vaginal agenesis is an uncommon condition, with an incidence ranging from 1 in 4,000 to 1 in 10,000. Congenital absence of uterus and vagina, also called müllerian agenesis or Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome, is the most common factor requiring creation of neovagina. Müllerian development is distinct from ovarian development and thus müllerian agenesis generally occurs without affecting the ovaries and normal external genitalia. The book is ...
Acquired rectovaginal fistulas in the lower vagina are a result of trauma. Pelvic abscess may rupture either into the rectum or vagina or both, resulting in a high rectovaginal fistula. A complete perineal tear as a result of obstetrical trauma, fall on a sharp object, bull horn injury or rape in the prepubertal females requiring a primary repair followed by an inadequately healed complete perineal tear repair results in the formation of a rectovaginal fistula. ...
The vulva presents complex clinical pathologies as it is composed of the hair-bearing skin and the inner lined mucosa. The skin and mucosa bearing the complex glandular tissues also contribute to the vulval pathology. New growths over the vulval and perineal skin are objectionable for disturbing the aesthetic appearance of the external genitalia and also producing coital problems. Varied surgical techniques of the benign pathologies of the vulva are presented in ...

Even more distressing is the observation that these cases with complete perineal tears are forced to live with this perpetual incontinence for many decades for want of proper ...
