This review aims to examine the use of vaginal stents in clinical practice, specifically for treating vaginal agenesis and related complications and problem associated with vaginal stents. Vaginal agenesis, also known as Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome, is a congenital disorder characterized by the uterus not developing or developing only partially. Vaginal stents are medical devices that preserve the structural integrity and patency of the vaginal canal after trauma or surgery. They play an important part in gynecological treatments such as post-radiation therapy, reconstructive surgery, and vaginal stenosis management. The review also discusses the primary applications of vaginal stents, such as preventing adhesions, healing mucosa, and maintaining patency. It also investigates frequent concerns associated with stent use, such as complications and the need for better designs. Vaginal stents are essential in a variety of therapeutic settings, providing major benefits in maintaining vaginal tissue and function. However, their use is fraught with complications, including the risk of infection, discomfort, and the possibility of inappropriate placement.
本综述旨在探讨阴道支架在临床实践中的应用，特别是用于治疗阴道发育不全及相关并发症以及与阴道支架相关的问题。阴道发育不全，也称为迈耶-罗基坦斯基-库斯特-豪泽（MRKH）综合征，是一种先天性疾病，其特征是子宫未发育或仅部分发育。阴道支架是一种医疗器械，用于在创伤或手术后保持阴道管的结构完整性和通畅性。它们在妇科治疗中发挥着重要作用，如放射治疗后、重建手术和阴道狭窄管理。该综述还讨论了阴道支架的主要应用，如预防粘连、愈合黏膜和保持通畅。它还研究了与支架使用相关的常见问题，如并发症和对更好设计的需求。阴道支架在各种治疗环境中都至关重要，在维持阴道组织和功能方面具有重大益处。然而，其使用充满了并发症，包括感染风险、不适以及放置不当的可能性。
