Management of a Case of Advanced Vulval Carcinoma with Flap Reconstruction: A Case Report with Review of Literature

Abstract

Aim and background: Several myocutaneous flap approaches have been described for repairing large vulvar defects caused by deforming radical cancer procedures in the female perineum. In general, vulvar cancer has a favorable prognosis when adequately treated with multidisciplinary treatment. Case presentation: In this case report, we describe a patient who underwent a radical vulvectomy for locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the vulva, and the defect was reconstructed by an anteromedial thigh flap. Conclusion: Anteromedial thigh flap offers many advantages including adequate soft tissue coverage, a shorter route for flap transfer, an unnoticeable scar, quick recovery times, and better functional outcomes. Clinical significance: Large abnormalities are now more easily repaired, and the morbidity linked to such radical procedures in advanced vulvar cancer has decreased due to the reconstruction option with an anteromedial thigh flap.
