Vaginal cancer surgery is the surgical removal of cancerous tissue from the vagina, performed by a specialised gynecologic oncology team. The operation ranges from a small local excision of an early-stage tumour to a partial or radical vaginectomy — sometimes combined with removal of the uterus and pelvic lymph nodes — and, in selected advanced cases, pelvic exenteration, which removes adjacent organs such as the bladder or rectum when cancer has invaded them. Surgery is most clearly indicated for small, early-stage tumours in the upper vagina, for recurrence after radiation, and for high-grade precancerous changes that have not responded to other treatments. For more advanced disease, radiation combined with chemotherapy is often the primary treatment, with surgery playing a complementary role. Recovery time varies widely depending on the extent of the operation, from a few days for a local excision to several months after exenteration.
Removal of the tumour and a margin of surrounding vaginal wall, used for small superficial cancers or high-grade precancerous changes (VAIN) where only part of the vaginal wall needs to be taken.
