Übersetzung für 'vulvectomy' von Englisch nach Deutsch

vulvectomy

Vulvektomie {f}med.

• The surgery proceeds with the use of general anesthesia, and prior to the vulvectomy/clitoridectomy an inguinal lymphyadenectomy is first done.
• A simple vulvectomy can be either complete (more than 80% of the vulvar area) or partial (less than 80% of vulvar area).
• Women with congenital disorders or women post-vulvectomy or with genital trauma may receive vulvoplasty for medical reasons.
• Treatment can be a vulvectomy that results in the removal of the growth along with an extensive removal of adjacent tissue.
• Traditionally, large amounts of tissue were removed in a 'radical vulvectomy'.

• Treatments include vulvectomy – removal of all or part of the vulva.
• In more advanced disease, a (partial) vulvectomy may need to be performed in order to remove some or all of the vulva.
• In clitoridectomy, the clitoris may be removed as part of a radical vulvectomy to treat cancer such as vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia; however, modern treatments favor more conservative approaches, as invasive surgery can have psychosexual consequences.
