A surgical procedure that reconstructs or repairs tissues of both the vagina and the perineum (the area between the genitals and anus).
From Greek 'kolpos' (vagina) + 'perineon' (perineum) + 'plassein' (to form/mold). This compound term developed as reconstructive surgery became more sophisticated in the 20th century.
This procedure is often needed after childbirth injuries—it's one of medicine's humbler miracles, restoring function and comfort to people's most intimate areas without fanfare.
