vaginectomy

If vaginectomy, hysterectomy and/or oophorectomy have not been performed, they can be done at the same time.

On occasion, total vaginectomy may be necessary.

Biological females may undergo vaginectomy, while males may undergo penectomy.

In both cases, for transwomen and transmen, genital surgery may also involve other medically necessary ancillary procedures, such as orchiectomy or vaginectomy.

Usually after a radical vaginectomy, a plastic surgeon will perform a vaginal reconstruction (or vaginoplasty), using skin and muscle from other body parts, for aesthetic reasons.
