@monafone We are not medical professionals or surgeons that post here on Mayo Clinic Connect. So we cannot answer specific questions about surgery. We do provide support and help people such as yourself with information and to look at all of the resources available.

Have you been diagnosed with vulvar cancer?

@bobette1, @wheaton , @ljchicago, @sillywabbit and @boxermomma have had experiences with vulvar cancer so they will have information for you based on their experiences.

Here is information from the American Cancer Society on surgery for vulvar cancer. This information points out that surgeons are very careful about the quality of life and sexual function in their patients. Have you talked with your doctor about this?
