Pedicled Anterolateral Thigh Flap (ALT) for Vulva Reconstruction: Journey to a New Horizon

Surgery for vulval malignancies necessitates extensive resection necessitating the use of musculocutaneous grafts. We present one such case where the patient needed both a V-Y plasty and an anterolateral thigh flap to ensure a tension-free repair. She underwent a partial deep vulvectomy followed by V-Y plasty and ALT flap. The procedure has been described in detail along with intraoperative photographs. She recovered uneventfully and is receiving post-operative adjuvant radiotherapy. We would like to highlight this "additional skill" of plastic surgery which will empower surgeons to undertake radical surgeries to ensure the best outcomes for patients.
