Vestibulectomy
A vestibulectomy is performed in case of severe vulvar pain caused by chronic inflammation of the vestibule, often preventing the patient from wearing tight clothing, sitting for prolonged periods, wearing tampons, and having intercourse.
Video Purpose
This surgical simulation was made to educate patients and family members about vestibulectomy surgery. Many patients may find viewing photos taken during surgery upsetting and disturbing. I created this animation with the goal of giving patients the knowledge they need to make a confident decision in a sensitive manner.
