This case study highlights the successful use of bilateral lotus petal flaps (LPF) for reconstructing large perianal defects after extensive surgery for extramammary Paget disease. The LPF reconstruction provided excellent aesthetic and functional outcomes, restoring patient autonomy.
Area of Science:
- Surgical Oncology
- Reconstructive Surgery
- Dermatology
Background:
- Extramammary Paget disease (EMPD) in the perianal area is a rare and aggressive skin condition.
- Extensive surgical resection is often required for EMPD, leading to large perianal defects.
- Reconstruction options for these defects are limited, impacting patient autonomy and function.
