	[[File:Vagina_1.jpg\|thumb\|right\|~~Illustration~~ of the female reproductive system]]		A '''vaginectomy''' is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of all or part of the [[vagina]]. It is typically performed as part of the treatment for certain medical conditions, such as [[vaginal cancer]], or as part of gender-affirming surgery for transgender men.

	A '''vaginectomy''' is a surgical procedure ~~involving~~ the ~~partial~~ or ~~complete removal~~ of the [[vagina]]. It is typically performed as part of the treatment for [[vaginal ~~cancer]], [[cervical~~ cancer]], or as part of [[gender-affirming surgery]] for [[transgender men]].

	== Indications ==		== Indications ==
			Vaginectomy may be indicated for several reasons, including:

	~~Vaginectomy is indicated in several medical conditions, including:~~		* [[Vaginal cancer]]: When cancerous cells are present in the vaginal tissue, a vaginectomy may be necessary to remove the affected area.
			* [[Gender-affirming surgery]]: Transgender men may undergo vaginectomy as part of their transition process.
	* ~~'''~~Vaginal cancer~~'''~~: When cancerous cells are present in the vaginal tissue, a vaginectomy may be necessary to remove the affected area.		* Severe [[vaginal prolapse]]: In cases where other treatments have failed, a vaginectomy may be considered.
	* ~~'''Cervical cancer''': In cases where cervical cancer has spread to the vagina, a vaginectomy may be performed in conjunction with other procedures such as a~~ [[~~hysterectomy]].~~
	* '''Gender-affirming surgery~~'''~~: ~~For transgender~~ men~~, a~~ vaginectomy ~~may be~~ part of ~~the surgical~~ transition process~~, often performed alongside~~ [[~~phalloplasty~~]] ~~or [[metoidioplasty]].~~

	~~== Procedure ==~~

	~~The procedure can vary depending on the extent of tissue removal required. A partial vaginectomy involves removing only a portion of the vaginal tissue~~, ~~while~~ a ~~total~~ vaginectomy ~~involves the removal of the entire vagina~~. ~~The surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia.~~

	~~=== Partial Vaginectomy ===~~

	~~In a partial~~ vaginectomy, ~~only~~ the ~~diseased or affected portion~~ of ~~the vagina is excised. This approach is often used when the cancer is localized and has not spread extensively.~~		== Types of Vaginectomy ==
			There are different types of vaginectomy procedures, depending on the extent of tissue removal:

	~~===~~ Total ~~Vaginectomy ===~~		* '''Partial vaginectomy''': Only a portion of the vaginal tissue is removed.
			* '''Total vaginectomy''': The entire vaginal canal is removed.
			* '''Radical vaginectomy''': This involves the removal of the vagina along with surrounding tissues, such as the [[lymph nodes]], and is often performed in cases of cancer.

	~~A total vaginectomy involves~~ the ~~complete removal~~ of the ~~vaginal canal. This procedure is more extensive and~~ may be ~~necessary~~ in ~~cases of widespread cancer or as part of gender-affirming surgery~~.		== Surgical Procedure ==
			The procedure is typically performed under [[general anesthesia]]. The specific surgical approach depends on the type of vaginectomy being performed. In some cases, the surgery may be done through the [[abdomen]], while in others, it may be performed through the [[perineum]].

	== Recovery ==		== Recovery and Aftercare ==
			Recovery from a vaginectomy can vary depending on the extent of the surgery. Patients may experience discomfort, swelling, and a temporary loss of sensation in the area. Post-operative care includes pain management, monitoring for signs of infection, and follow-up visits with the healthcare provider.

	* ~~'''~~Infection~~''': Post-surgical infections can occur, requiring antibiotics or further medical intervention.~~		* Damage to surrounding organs
	* ~~'''~~Bleeding~~''': Excessive bleeding during or after the procedure may necessitate additional treatment.~~		* Changes in [[sexual function]]
	* ~~'''Scarring''': Scar tissue formation can affect the function and appearance of the surgical site.~~

'''Vaginectomy''' is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of all or part of the [[vagina]]. It is often performed as a treatment for various [[cancer]]s, such as [[vaginal cancer]] and [[cervical cancer]], or as part of [[sex reassignment surgery]] for [[transgender]] men.

== Indications ==

Vaginectomy is typically indicated for the treatment of malignant [[tumor]]s in the vagina. It may also be performed in cases of severe [[vaginal atrophy]] or [[vaginal prolapse]], or as part of sex reassignment surgery.

== Procedure ==

The procedure involves the surgical removal of all or part of the vagina. The extent of the surgery depends on the size and location of the tumor, as well as the patient's overall health and personal preferences. In some cases, a [[hysterectomy]] (removal of the [[uterus]]) may also be performed.

== Risks and complications ==

As with any surgical procedure, vaginectomy carries risks, including infection, bleeding, and complications from [[anesthesia]]. Other potential complications include changes in sexual function and sensation, as well as psychological effects.

== Recovery and prognosis ==

Recovery from vaginectomy varies depending on the extent of the surgery and the individual's overall health. Prognosis also depends on a variety of factors, including the stage and type of cancer, the patient's age and overall health, and the success of the surgery.
