Vulvectomy

Vulvectomy is a major surgical procedure that can be performed for a variety of medical reasons. This procedure involves the removal of a woman's external genitalia, including the labia majora, labia minora, and clitoris.

A simple vulvectomy is performed if a woman has benign tumors of the external genitalia. In this case, removal of areas of the vulva may become necessary to prevent further spread of the tumor. In this case, the operation can be performed either partially or completely, depending on the size and location of the tumor.

Radical vulvectomy is performed for malignant neoplasms such as vulvar cancer. In this case, in addition to the removal of the labia majora, minora and clitoris, all nearby lymph nodes are completely removed. The goal of this procedure is to prevent cancer cells from spreading to other parts of the body and increase the chances of a complete cure.

After surgery, the areas of skin that were removed heal with the formation of granulation. This may require the use of special products to relieve pain and prevent infection. Also, a woman may need the help of restorative therapy to restore normal function of the genitourinary organs.

Although a vulvectomy can be an effective treatment in some cases, it is a serious procedure that can have long-term consequences for the woman. Therefore, before deciding to undergo surgery, a woman should carefully discuss all the risks and side effects with a specialist doctor.

A prerequisite is a pathological process that threatens the health of patients. Traditional or simple vulvectomy involves removing the upper edge of the labia, clitoris, labia and
