Cancer surgery for the female genital tract encompasses a range of procedures designed to diagnose, treat, and manage cancers affecting reproductive organs. Hysterectomy, the removal of the uterus, is a common intervention for cancers such as endometrial or cervical cancer. In cases involving ovarian cancer or certain breast cancers, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, the removal of both ovaries and fallopian tubes, may be recommended. Lymph node dissection is often performed to assess and address cancer spread. Vulvectomy may be undertaken for vulvar cancer, involving the removal of a portion or the entirety of the vulva, with potential reconstruction procedures. In advanced cases, pelvic exenteration may be considered, necessitating the removal of multiple pelvic organs. Laser surgery or excisional procedures are utilized for precancerous lesions or early-stage cancers. The choice of surgery depends on factors such as cancer type, stage, and the patient's overall health. Advances in surgical techniques, including minimally invasive approaches, contribute to improved outcomes and reduced recovery times. Cancer surgery for the female genital tract is often part of a comprehensive treatment plan, with coordination among healthcare specialists to provide individualized care and support for women facing gynecological cancers.
