Surgical Treatment

To surgically remove cancerous tissue, assess disease spread, and reconstruct affected areas for optimal function and appearance.

Wide local excision: Removal of the cancer and a margin of healthy tissue around it, suitable for early-stage cancers.
Partial or radical vulvectomy: Removal of part or all of the vulva, depending on the extent and location of the cancer.
Lymphadenectomy (groin lymph node dissection) or sentinel lymph node biopsy: Removal or sampling of lymph nodes to check for cancer spread.
Reconstructive surgery: Procedures performed after extensive tissue removal to restore the appearance and function of the vulva.
