Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Plastic Surgery
  • Gynecologic Oncology

Background:

  • Vulvar cancer, though rare, is increasing in incidence.
  • Surgical resection for vulvar cancer often creates large defects requiring reconstruction.
  • Current reconstructive guidelines recommend considering functional and cosmetic outcomes, especially for challenging closures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a simple, effective algorithm for flap selection in vulvo-vaginal-perineal reconstruction after vulvar cancer surgery.
  • To prioritize perforator flaps for reduced donor-site morbidity and improved patient aesthetics and function.
  • To offer a practical approach based on anatomical involvement rather than solely defect size.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a novel algorithm for flap selection in vulvo-vaginal-perineal reconstruction.
  • Emphasis on perforator flaps as the primary reconstructive option.
  • Algorithm design based on anatomical site and defect characteristics.

Main Results:

  • The proposed algorithm offers a practical and versatile approach to flap selection.
  • It prioritizes perforator flaps, leading to less demolitive procedures.
  • The algorithm aims to improve anatomical restoration, function, and patient self-image and sexual function.

Conclusions:

  • The new algorithm simplifies flap choice in vulvar cancer reconstruction.
  • It promotes the use of perforator flaps for superior patient outcomes.
  • This approach enhances functional and cosmetic results while maintaining oncological safety.
