Surgery is the primary treatment for vulvar cancer as well as early‐stage carcinoma of the cervix. This article reviews the significance of margin status after surgery on overall survival, need for further surgical intervention, and role for possible adjuvant therapy.

Zusammenfassung:Surgery is the primary treatment for vulvar cancer as well as early‐stage carcinoma of the cervix. This article reviews the significance of margin status after surgery on overall survival, need for further surgical intervention, and role for possible adjuvant therapy. It summarizes the abundant literature on margin status in vulvar cancer and highlights the need for further investigation on the prognostic significance of margins in cervical cancer. In addition, it reviews other important operative considerations. J. Surg. Oncol. 2016;113:304–309. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
