Among women with persistent vulvar itching, pain, or a suspicious lesion, biopsy of the skin of the vulva may be needed. A simple office procedure, vulvar biopsy can quickly and nearly painlessly lead to the correct diagnosis. This 5-minute video demonstrates one technique for performing a vulva biopsy, using vulvoscopy to identify the biopsy site, local anesthetic, and a Keys biopsy punch to obtain the specimen. Illustrated is the use of anesthetic and surgical techniques to minimize bleeding. The DVD is playable on most computers with DVD capability, and on set-top DVD players manufactured within the last few years. |
