Vulval Reconstruction Using Rectus Abdominis Musculocutaneous Flap Transfer with Secondary Liposuction in Extramammary Paget's Disease
1997
Two female patients with vulval skin defects after extramammary Paget's disease were reconstructed using a pedicled, distally based rectus abdominis musculocutaneous flap. After the operation, the bulkiness of the flap, which might be a major problem in the application for a vulval skin defect, was improved successfully by flap volume reduction with secondary liposuction. We conclude that rectus abdominis musculocutaneous flap transfer with secondary liposuction is one of the acceptable methods for reconstructing vulval skin defects.
