My doctor wants to do a partial vaginectomy to remove a growth. what actually is this? is this the best procedure to remove it.

Yes: If a growth looks suspicious on pelvic exam, biopsy followed by localized removal is not a difficult procedure. It can eliminate any primary tumor growth such as an early squamous cell lesion or even define, while rare, a metastatic lesion. Repair of the resulting defect is easy to perform as long as the lesion has not grown to penetrate the mucosal lining.
