Background:

Vulvar reconstruction aims for optimal cosmetic and functional results post-cancer excision.
Minimizing secondary deformity is a key goal in vulvar reconstruction procedures.

Observation:

A patient presented with significant fibrous contracture and vaginal ectropion following radical vulvectomy and groin dissection for cancer.
The patient's condition indicated a need for advanced reconstructive techniques.

Findings:

Pendulous lower abdominal tissue was successfully utilized for vulvar and mons pubis reconstruction.
The reconstructive procedure resulted in no secondary deformity for the patient.

Implications:
