About Vaginectomy

A vaginectomy is a surgical procedure performed by an Obstetrician and Gynaecologist to partially or completely remove the vagina. It is a major surgery most commonly indicated for the treatment of certain gynaecological cancers, such as vaginal or cervical cancer, or for gender-affirming care as part of female-to-male transition. The procedure can be performed through various approaches, including abdominal, laparoscopic, or vaginal routes, depending on the underlying condition and surgical goals. Post-operative care focuses on pain management, wound healing, and monitoring for complications. This procedure requires a detailed discussion between the patient and surgeon regarding the risks, benefits, and long-term implications, including potential impacts on sexual function and urinary continence.
