A plastic or reconstructive surgical procedure performed on the vagina to repair damage, correct abnormalities, or restore function.
From Greek 'kolpos' (vagina) + 'plassein' (to mold/form). The term gained prominence in the 20th century as reconstructive surgery became standardized in medical practice.
This word represents a major shift in medicine—the idea that we could intentionally reshape body tissues for function or appearance was revolutionary and opened entirely new fields of surgery.
