Serious business: You give us limited information. A partial vaginectomy would only be recommended to treat cancer or "not-yet" cancer. It is likely to adversely impact your sex life, although not as much as untreated cancer would. Risk of recurrence depends on many technical details of your case, not available to us. You ask very important questions, but they are better directed to the doctor who knows your case.

Partial vaginectomy: is a surgical procedure in which a part of the vagina is removed. It is usually used as a treatment for vaginal cancer. Any growth that is surgically removed should be biopsied in order to determine if it is benign or malignant, so that is a question for doctor who performed the surgery. How sex life is affected depends upon many factors.
