Department of Gynaecologic Oncology at the Netherlands Cancer Institute-Antoni van Leeuwenhoek Hospital, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
Background And Aim: Partial or total clitoris amputation for vulvar intra-epithelial neoplasia (VIN) affects quality of life and sexual function and is likely to constitute over-treatment as superficial excision of only the involved, thinly cornified, stratified squamous clitoral epithelium would suffice. For this reason, we applied skinning clitorectomy and replacement of clitoral skin as an organ-sparing surgical therapy for clitoral VIN.
Methods: Seven consecutive patients presenting with VIN were treated from July 2003 to February 2008.
