Vulvar cancer surgery is an operation to remove a cancer of the vulva — the external female genital area — along with a margin of surrounding healthy tissue and, in most cases, an assessment of the lymph nodes in the groin. It is the primary treatment for most early-stage vulvar cancers and is tailored closely to each patient: the extent of the operation depends on tumour size and location, depth of invasion, and whether the groin lymph nodes are involved. Smaller, tissue-sparing procedures such as wide local excision with sentinel lymph node biopsy are now preferred by international guidelines wherever oncologically safe, reducing long-term complications like leg swelling. Larger tumours or node-positive disease may require a partial or radical vulvectomy combined with a full groin lymph node dissection, sometimes with reconstructive techniques to restore appearance and function. Most patients stay in hospital for three to seven days, with a recovery period of several weeks before returning to normal activities.
The cancer and a margin of surrounding tissue are removed while preserving most of the vulva; only the first draining lymph node in the groin is sampled rather than a full dissection.
Estimated cost: ~$1,000 – $1,500
