Abstract :The development of the female genital system is a complex process that depends on a series of events involving cellular differentiation, migration, fusion, and recanalization. Failure of any of these processes results in congenital anomalies. Developmental anomalies can occur at various stages, resulting in conditions that impact both the urinary and reproductive systems. In younger patients, such malformations can significantly affect their overall health and quality of life, including aspects such as fertility, sexual function, and psychological well-being. The psychosexual effects of vaginal agenesis should not be overlooked, and clinical care primarily involves comprehensive counseling and support through open communication with the patient. For adult patients, treatment for vaginal agenesis typically starts with therapeutic counseling and education, with non-invasive vaginal dilation being recommended as the first-line approach, or surgery if necessary. Consequently, managing these issues often requires a multidisciplinary approach, engaging specialists such as urologists, gynecologists, endocrinologists, and geneticists, among others. Early detection and timely intervention can greatly enhance the outlook for individuals with these conditions. Besides considering the patient\'s expectations, the surgeon\'s experience plays a crucial role in selecting the appropriate surgical technique. This is because the success of the initial surgery is critical to the effectiveness of any subsequent procedures if required. In this review, the evaluation and treatment of vaginal agenesis, which constitutes an important part of congenital anomalies of the vagina, were discussed.
