Results: Among fourteen patients with vaginal septum who performed an operative method with the vaginal approach, the most age distribution was <20 years (n=10, 71.4%). The majority of patients were single (n=10, 71.4%). There were 8 patients (57%) having menstruation. The most accompanying condition was hematometra-hematocolpos (n=5, 35.71%).
