[Development and challenges of female reproductive reconstruction in China].

Abstract

Female reproductive plastic and rehabilitation, as an emerging interdisciplinary clinical field, focuses on the correction of structural abnormalities, diagnosis and treatment of functional disorders, and aesthetic enhancement of female reproductive organs caused by congenital and acquired factors. Over the past decade, expert teams in China have made significant progress in establishing a professional system in this field, encompassing top-level disciplinary design, expert team cultivation, and the formulation of industry consensus and group standards. Currently, this specialty in China has developed comprehensive definitions and connotations, formed expert teams, filled gaps in clinical research, and established a series of expert consensus documents. However, the field remains in its nascent stage, facing numerous challenges. Such as suboptimal quality and insufficient quantity of clinical data, inconsistent treatment methods between public and private medical institutions, and inadequate professional knowledge among medical practitioners and the general public. This review elaborates on the development of female reproductive plastic and rehabilitation in China over the past decade, covering the contextual background of its emergence, the establishment process of the Female Reproductive Plastic and Rehabilitation Branch under the Chinese Association of Plastic and Aesthetics, the relevant work conducted by expert teams, the existing challenges, and future prospects, while directly addressing current issues and obstacles.
