Vulvar Cancer

Vulvar Cancer Surgery in India – Brigadier Dr. Rajnish Talwar

Expert Surgical Treatment for Vulvar Cancer

Vulvar cancer is a rare but serious form of cancer that affects the external female genitalia (vulva). It can develop in the skin of the vulva or in the underlying tissues, and early intervention is key to successful treatment. Brigadier Dr. Rajnish Talwar, a highly experienced vulvar cancer surgeon in India, provides personalized surgical treatments aimed at improving survival rates and the overall well-being of his patients.

What is Vulvar Cancer?

Vulvar cancer arises from the skin or tissues of the vulva, the external part of the female genital organs. Most vulvar cancers are squamous cell carcinomas, which develop in the flat cells lining the vulva. Other less common types include melanomas and adenocarcinomas. While vulvar cancer is rare, it is important to detect it early as it can spread to nearby lymph nodes or other parts of the body.

Risk factors for vulvar cancer include:

  • Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, especially HPV types 16 and 18
  • Chronic vulvar irritation or lichen sclerosus (a skin condition)
  • Smoking
  • Weakened immune system (e.g., due to HIV or immunosuppressive medications)
  • Age (most cases occur in women over 60 years of age)
  • History of vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia (VIN), a precancerous condition

Common symptoms of vulvar cancer include:

  • Itching, burning, or pain in the vulvar area
  • Visible changes in the vulvar skin, such as lumps, sores, or warts
  • Unusual bleeding or discharge
  • Painful urination or difficulty urinating
  • Pain during sexual intercourse

Types of Vulvar Cancer Surgery

Surgical intervention is the primary treatment for vulvar cancer, especially in the early stages. Brigadier Dr. Rajnish Talwar offers a range of surgical options based on the stage and location of the cancer:
  • Wide Local Excision: This procedure involves the removal of the tumor along with a margin of healthy tissue surrounding it. It is commonly performed for localized vulvar cancer.
  • Vulvectomy: Removal of part or all of the vulva, depending on the extent of the cancer. There are two main types:
    • Partial Vulvectomy: Removal of part of the vulva affected by cancer.
    • Radical Vulvectomy: Removal of the entire vulva, typically in more advanced cases.
  • Lymph Node Dissection: If the cancer has spread to the lymph nodes, they may be removed to prevent further spread and improve treatment outcomes.
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery: For smaller tumors, laparoscopic or robotic surgery may be used to minimize scarring, reduce recovery time, and offer less pain.
  • Pelvic Exenteration: In advanced cases, pelvic exenteration may be necessary to remove not only the vulva but also other surrounding structures (such as the vagina, bladder, or rectum) and the lymph nodes.
