    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Plastic Surgery
    • Reconstructive Surgery

    Context:

    • Vulvar cancer treatment often requires extensive surgical resection.
    • Reconstruction of the vulvar defect is crucial for functional and aesthetic recovery.
    • Local flaps and tissue transplantation are established reconstructive techniques.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of using local flaps and transplants for vulvar cancer reconstruction.
    • To assess complication rates and patient outcomes following reconstructive surgery for vulvar cancer.

    Summary:

    • A retrospective analysis of 29 vulvar cancer patients operated on between 1981-1985.
    • Nineteen patients underwent reconstruction using transplants and local flap transposition/rotation.
    • Only two patients experienced minimal wound dehiscence, with an average hospitalization of 29 days.

    Impact:

    • Local flap and transplant reconstruction is a viable and safe option for vulvar cancer defects.
    • This surgical strategy minimizes complications and optimizes patient recovery.
    • The findings support the use of these reconstructive techniques in vulvar cancer management.
