Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Tumors located near the clitoris in vulvar (pre)malignancies represent a distinct clinical category. Achieving tumor-free surgical margins often requires removal of a significant portion of the clitoris, potentially causing profound psychological and sexual impact. Clitoral reconstruction, used in patients with female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C), has shown positive outcomes in restoring sexual function and reducing pain.
