DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF CONGENITAL VAGEN ANOMALIES

Abstract

Development of the female genital tract is a complex process dependent upon a series of events involving cellular differantiation, migration, fusion, and canalization. Failure of any one of these processes results in a congenital anomaly. The classification and treatment modalities of congenital anomalies of the vagina will be reviewed according to the last literature in this review article.

KONJENİTAL VAJEN ANOMALİLERİNİN TANI VE TEDAVİSİ

Abstract

Kadın genital sisteminin gelişimi, hücresel farklılaşma, migrasyon, füzyon ve kanalizasyonu içeren olaylar serisi sonucunda ortaya çıkan kompleks bir süreçtir. Bu süreçte herhangi bir yerde meydana gelen bozukluk konjenital anomali olarak sonuçlanır. Bu derlemede, konjenital vajen anomalilerinin son literatüre göre sınıflandırılması ve tedavi şekilleri yeniden gözden geçirilecektir

Keywords
