INTRODUCTION: A complete consensus has not been achieved in the diagnosis and management of uterovaginal canal obstructions in children and adolescents. In this study, our uterovaginal canal obstruction experiences were evaluated with the literature.
METHODS: Data of patients with uterovaginal obstruction were evaluated, between 2015 and 2018. Values were expressed as counts and percentages.
RESULTS: Twenty-one female patients with uterovaginal obstruction were detected. The mean age was 13 (Min-max: 3 days-17 years). The most common anomalies detected were labial synechia and imperforate hymen..
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: Most of the uterovaginal obstructions can be treated with simple surgical intervention when differential diagnosis is kept in mind. However, complex cases require a multidisciplinary approach.
