Bilaterale gestielte M. gracilis-Lappenplastik und bilaterale M. gluteus-Rotationslappenplastik zur mehrzeitigen Rekonstruktion der Vagina, des kleinen Beckens sowie der Perinealregion

Plastic reconstructions of oncological anorectal defects often prove to be very difficult and lead to prolonged hospitalisation due to severe bacterial contamination, neoadjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy and difficult anatomical conditions. There is no common standard for plastic reconstruction in such cases. We present a patient diagnosed with distal rectal cancer with infiltration of the anus and vagina, who underwent radical tumour resection of the rectum and anus as well as partial resection of the vagina. A severe necrotising infection occurred post-surgery, which resulted in an extensive defect of the pelvis and perineal region. This article provides a retrospective clinical evaluation and photographic documentation of the reconstruction of the vagina, pelvis and perineal region with a bilateral gracilis and gluteus muscle flap.
