Zusammenfassung

Die Vulva umfasst die Gesamtheit der primären äußeren weiblichen Geschlechtsorgane. Die Entwicklungsgeschichte ist komplex, da bei der Ausbildung des äußeren Genitales Derivate aller drei Keimblätter (Ekto-, Meso- und Endoderm) interagieren. Hinsichtlich Form und Größe der einzelnen Strukturen besteht eine große interindividuelle Variabilität. Die Vagina ist ein muskuläres Hohlorgan, welches sich vom Hymenalsaum bis zur Cervix uteri erstreckt. Entwicklungsgeschichtlich existieren verschiedene konkurrierende Theorien, welche hier kurz vorgestellt werden. Die Form der Vagina im proximodistalen Verlauf wird hauptsächlich durch ihre Beziehung zu umliegenden Strukturen bestimmt. Eine genaue Kenntnis der topografischen Anatomie der Vulva und Vagina sind sowohl für die klinische Diagnostik als auch für die operative Therapie von größter Bedeutung.
