Description
Summary:Vulvar loss of soft tissue leads to urinary, sexual and morphological dysfunctions. Most patients affected are comorbid making it difficult to perform a flap, which is the most appropriate way to reconstruct. Our multidisciplinary plastic and gynecologic surgery team has developed a new technique using a pedicled internal pudendal island flap. Reconstruction is reliable, quick and applicable to all patients, with a highly satisfactory final appearance. Les pertes de substance vulvaire entraînent des dysfonctionnements urinaires, sexuels et morphologiques. La plupart des patientes atteintes souffrent de comorbidité, ce qui rend difficile la réalisation d’un lambeau, qui est la méthode de reconstruction la plus appropriée. Notre équipe pluridisciplinaire de chirurgie plastique et gynécologique a mis au point une nouvelle technique utilisant un lambeau pudendal interne pédiculé en îlot. La reconstruction est fiable, rapide et applicable à toutes les patientes, avec un aspect final très satisfaisant.
